I'm not sure exactly what you mean. I guess you could set all voxels in a given ROI to be the value of that ROI? This is not really a voxel-wise correction and probably would not do what you want. You can use the mgx data (corrected with muller-gartner method). There is also a --rbv (region-bas

There is another parameter called -fmid. The final mapping is a complicated combination of all three (fthresh, fmin, fslope). I usally use the -fminmax option which is easier to explain. -fminmax 2 5 means that the threshold is set to 2 and that at 5 the color will saturate. doug On 01/11/2016

Yes with MGPVC the voxel values are rescaled by the MG formula. Note that MG (and RBV) use GTM as a preprocessing step. If you average the MG output over an ROI, then it comes close to the GTM value. On 01/11/2016 02:39 PM, Matthieu Vanhoutte wrote: > Le 11/01/2016 20:33, Douglas N Greve a écrit
