Hi Anastasia,
I have two subjects, one with a lhcab that looks ok (more or less noisy but it's there) and one with a lhcab that is almost completely missing (please see attached figures). And yet, when I look at their respective pathstats.byvoxel.txt (under dpath/lh.cab_PP_avg33_mni_bbr) I find that both have data for this tract and that the subject with a seemingly missing tract (70) has more observations. Is this a thresholding issue? Which brings me to: The default threshold in Freeview when viewing these files is 20% of the 99th percentile of the posterior probability distribution for the path, isn't it? So I was wondering how that affects the data in pathstats.byvoxel and pathstats.overall; are they also thresholded?
