AFNI 3D Adaptive Smoothing to Target FWHM

Library: AFNI | Docker Image: brainlife/afni

Function

Adaptively smooths data to achieve a target smoothness level, accounting for existing smoothness.

Modality: 3D or 4D NIfTI/AFNI volume with mask.

Typical Use: Achieving consistent smoothness across subjects/studies.

Key Parameters

-input (input dataset), -prefix (output), -FWHM (target smoothness in mm), -mask (brain mask)

Key Points

Measures existing smoothness and adds only enough to reach target FWHM. Better than fixed-kernel smoothing.
