Description
sphsmooth-sess will smooth an analysis on the surface. The results of the analysis must have been resampled onto the sphere using func2sph-sess. By default, the input directory will be sph (as created by func2sph-sess). The user must supply the output directory. To access the smoothed data in subsequent calls (eg, isxavg-re-sess or isxavg-fe-sess), add -spacedir followed by the name given to the output directory.
The amount of smoothing is approximately given by the formula
fwhm = (2.3*sqrt(smoothsteps*2/pi))/1.24
where fwhm is in mm on the surface and smoothsteps is the number of smoothing steps supplied by the -smoothsteps flag.
A single smoothing step is when each vertex is averaged with its neighbors. This will be performed iteratively as many times as specified.
How much smoothing you should apply depends on your data. Ideally, it should be the same as your activation size.
