Afni3dclust
Afni3dclust is a wrapper for the AFNI (RW Cox, NIH) 3dclust application.
3dclust -- Program to find spatially contiguous clusters of above-threshold voxels.
AFNI 3dclust was written by Robert W. Cox, Medical College of Wisconsin.
For more information about the AFNI package, see the AFNI Homepage

Invocation
java Afni3dclust
This starts up the java interpreter and runs the Afni3dclust application.
You need to have set up your environment
for java in order for this to work.
For information on how to invoke the command line program, 3dclust,
please go here.
Afni3dclust window
- Input dataset
The dataset to be used as input.
Afni3dclust takes one 3d datasets as input.
However, a 3d + time dataset can be used if the sub-bricks for intensity and threshold data are given in the Editing Options.
- Output prefix
An output dataset will be generated with this prefix.
- Cluster Connection Radius
The cluster connectivity distance in mm. It is required that this value
be positive and should be slightly over one voxel width.
- Minimum Cluster Volume
It is required that this value not be zero and in micro liters.
- Editing Options...
- No volume editing
Do not do any volume editing to the dataset.
- Use nearest neighbor clustering
Let 3dclust search the top, bottom, left, right, forward, and backward voxels for clusters.
- Cluster for each distinct value
Create clusters for each distinct value regardless of connection radius and
minimum cluster value.
- Cluster voxels with same values
Cluster voxels together only if they have exactly the same value.
- Stretch to MNI brain
If the input dataset is in tlrc coordinates, 3dclust will try to map
xyz-coordinates to the MNI template brain.
- Assume 1 mm voxel dimensions
Read the dataset as having voxels that
are 1 mm on each side. This option can simplify calculations for the connection
radius and cluster volume.
- Use signed voxel intensities
Use the signed voxel intensities (not the absolute values)
for calculation of mean and standard error of mean (SEM).
- Summarize only
Write out only the total nonzero voxel count and volume
for each dataset.
- Verbose
Write out extra information about cluster calculations.
