Hi Matt, Thanks for getting back to me - after some further tinkering, I think this command sequence yields the desired output:
1) Extract mean unsmoothed ROI data to text: wb_command -cifti-roi-average ${subject}_${run}.dtseries.nii roi_data_${sub}_${run}_unsmoothed.txt -vol-roi ${sub}_roi_mask.nii # probably works for surface-based ROIs as well but I haven't tested 2) Convert extracted ROI data to cifti: wb_command -cifti-create-scalar-series roi_data_${sub}_${run}_unsmoothed.txt roi_data_${sub}_${run}_unsmoothed.dscalar.nii -transpose -series SECOND 0 1 3) Cross-correlate this new ROI timeseries cifti with the smoothed whole-brain cifti data: wb_command -cifti-cross-correlation ${subject}_${run}_smoothed.dtseries.nii roi_data_${sub}_${run}_unsmoothed.dscalar.nii correlation_${sub}_${run}.dscalar.nii 4) Repeat for all runs and average: wb_command -cifti-average correlation_${sub}_average.dscalar.nii -cifti correlation_${sub}_run1.dscalar.nii -cifti correlation_${sub}_run2.dscalar.nii -cifti correlation_${sub}_run3.dscalar.nii -cifti correlation_${sub}_run4.dscalar.nii 5) Fisher z transform results: wb_command -cifti-math "atanh(x)" z_correlation_${sub}_average.dscalar.nii -var x correlation_${sub}_average.dscalar.nii The resulting files appear as expected (similar to the smoothed-ROI-to-smoothed-cifti results but with more variation/less smooth appearance). Please let me know if you see any errors. Thanks again! -Ely ________________________________ From: Glasser, Matthew [glass...@wustl.edu] Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2017 11:32 PM To: Ely, Benjamin; HCP-Users@humanconnectome.org Subject: Re: [HCP-Users] unsmoothed ROI to smoothed cifti correlation Hi Ely, We don’t have a function like this yet, but have been discussing making one. I think matlab is your best bet at this time. Peace, Matt.

Since my ROIs are fairly small, I'd like to calculate the correlation between the mean unsmoothed timeseries of each ROI (i.e. "smoothed" only by averaging within the ROI) and the subject's smoothed cifti data. However, the wb_command -cifti-average-roi-correlation function only generates correlations from an ROI within the same cifti file, and none of the other functions seem appropriate (possibly -cifti-cross-correlation where one input is a cifti containing a single row with the mean unsmoothed timeseries, but I couldn't get this to work). Is there a straightforward way to generate these correlations using workbench, or will I need to e.g. write a matlab script? My ROIs are subcortical (voxel-based), if that matters. Thank you! -Ely _______________________________________________ HCP-Users mailing list HCP-Users@humanconnectome.org<mailto:HCP-Users@humanconnectome.org> http://lists.humanconnectome.org/mailman/listinfo/hcp-users<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__lists.humanconnectome.org_mailman_listinfo_hcp-2Dusers&d=DwMF-g&c=shNJtf5dKgNcPZ6Yh64b-A&r=wkbWuLo29rcKlS_jqY-IWyhtdbOPOJ4YiqipZSzm0r4&m=yPHnchyPW8zwQAjrQNcCAh2TbX5ft58rzU3tH0B6K54&s=VlpGPeejrRi73VM-uLx85SXITabqd6-wTiQRi2j3Dc4&e=> ________________________________ The materials in this message are private and may contain Protected Healthcare Information or other information of a sensitive nature.
