AFNI 3D Network Correlation Matrix (3dNetCorr)

Library: AFNI | Docker Image: brainlife/afni

Function

Computes pairwise correlation matrices between ROI time series extracted from a parcellation atlas.

Modality: 4D fMRI NIfTI/AFNI time series plus integer-labeled parcellation volume.

Typical Use: Creating functional connectivity matrices from parcellations.

Key Parameters

-inset (4D time series), -in_rois (parcellation), -prefix (output), -fish_z (Fisher z-transform), -ts_out (output time series)

Key Points

Outputs correlation matrix as text file. Use -fish_z for Fisher z-transformed values.

Inputs
