In the example, if I have 3 runs in my directory called r01, r02, and r03, then that line will expand to all three of them. You can alter the code to suit your run names.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />-AndyAndrew Jahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16435706598096921650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405968300258104460.post-62391386078790688822017-04-17T15:01:46.970-04:002017-04-17T15:01:46.970-04:00Hi Andy,

They asked me to write some software to do some real time staff on the fMRI. so here I am now!!<br />I've watched some of your videos on youtube or in your blog, but I need more help!<br />For example, I found to generate a script I should use AFNI_proc.py, but in the last step (using _ask_me) it ask me about stim files, but I don't have it and I don't know what it is honestly! I've downloaded the first data set from http://afni.nimh.nih.gov/afni/download/data/releases/latest but there is no stim file or stim times, what should I do now? and what is you suggestion for me to be an expert in this area so fast? I am ready to read and do anything to improve my knowledge and help my skills to implement that real time code.<br />Thanks so much again. Hope you can help me :)<br />Best,<br />NafisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
