Hi Dave, Maybe I'm missing some obvious situation, but how often are you going to get exactly Z=0.0000000000 (to the machine precision), unless the data at that location was previously masked to 0 as part of a previous processing step? My understanding is that within FSL, 0's are basically used to represent values with "no data" (as opposed to NaN) -- thus the options in fslstats to compute stats only on non-zero voxels. However, featquery doesn't take advantage of those particular flags. cheers, -MH On Thu, 2010-06-17 at 15:16 +0100, Dave Flitney wrote: > Huh!?
