Thank you for the quick reply.
As you may be able to tell I'm a bit new at this so am still unsure about some things but yes a conjunction analysis is exactly what I want to do. Just a little more background, all the tasks are exactly the same in that they all have a null condition (set to 0 in all the paradigm files) with the same duration and the ON of all tasks also has the same duration across all tasks. I've also set the ON blocks in the 3 different paradigm files to be 1,2,3 instead of all being 1. Thus far I've done: 1) mkanalysis-sess \ -fsd bold -stc up -surface fsaverage lh -fwhm 5 \ -event-related -paradigm para.tsv -nconditions 3 \ -spmhrf 0 -TR 0.984 -refeventdur 24 -nskip 2 -polyfit 2 \ -analysis conjunction_analysis.lh -per-run -force 2) Create all the contrasts mkcontrast-sess -analysis conjunction_analysis.lh -contrast task-1 -a 1 mkcontrast-sess -analysis conjunction_analysis.lh -contrast task-2 -a 2 mkcontrast-sess -analysis conjunction_analysis.lh -contrast task-3 -a 3 3) Run the analysis with selxavg3-sess -s subj01 -analysis conjunction_analysis.lh \ -c task-1 \ -c task-2 \ -c task-3 Then cd into subj01/bold/conjunction_analysis.lh and finally 4) mri_concat mri_concat lang-cond-1/sig.nii.gz lang-cond-2/sig.nii.gz lang-cond-3/sig.nii.gz --conjunct --o conjunction.nii.gz Does this look right? Also, what would be the proper command to view the conjunction after running this? Sorry this is very long winded, I just want to make sure I'm doing everything properly.

It sounds like you have 3 different conditions and want to find out where the activation for all conditions overlaps. But what you have done is to combine all conditions into a single condition, so you are seeing where the average activation is, which is different than the overlap (and why it looks to have to much of an extent). To do what you want to do, you should model each condition as a separate condition in mkanalysis (ie, -nconditions 3 and change your paradigm file), set up 3 contrasts (one for each condition, ie, -a 1, -a 2, -a 3), then you will need to do a conjunction analysis (mri_concat con1/sig.nii.gz con2/sig.nii.gz con3/sig.nii.gz --conjunct --o conjunction.nii.gz). You can then view the conjunction with freeview (or tksurfer/tkmedit) On 03/20/2018 06:30 PM, nm644 wrote: > > Hello Freesurfer experts, > > My question may have already been solved in a previous thread.
