RE: Post-processing questions
Hi Michal,


The results will depend on the seed you used to calculate RSFC in the first place. What kind of seed did you use? How do the individual RSFC_Z maps look? Can you see a pattern there? You have to expect a similar pattern emerging in the group analysis.

The fact that you have nan P-values most likely has to do with a discrepancy between your mask and the data that go into the analysis. Carefully check that the analysis really includes only voxels that are present in all subjects. If I remember correctly you get this error if your mask is bigger than your actual data. (what we often do to mask is fslmaths 4dimage.nii.gz -abs -Tmin -bin outputmask.nii.gz)

The RSFC_Z maps are not zvalues, they are Fisher-Z transformed (a transformation to improve normality for correlation values).
