MRIcroGL doesn't show tmap when thresholded
Hi there and sorry for silly problem postings but ... we faced the
problem that MRIcroGL does not display any voxels of a tmap when it
was thresholded beforehand. for instance when trying to visualize a
conjunction which contains lots of zero voxel values and only some
blobs with above zero voxels. can anybody help, please? many thanks
in advance!

Hi Chris
Thanks so much for your quick reply and for pointing to this issue "Interpolating Thresholded Images #17" but unfortunately that did not solve my problem. I attach a screenshot showing the same overlay in MRIcroGM (where the activity spot is gone) and MRIcron (where it is displayed). overlay loading is NOT smoothed, as can be seen in the screenshot. hope I did not miss any important point ...
many thanks for further ideas

Thanks for sharing an example of the dataset. This is a duplicate

Sub-threshold voxels have been artificially set to "Not-A-Number" values, and then the image is being interpolated onto a higher resolution image. You will always get a better result if you reslice PRIOR to thresholding. The thresholding is eliminating crucial information. The current pre-release of MRIcroGL tries to explicitly identify not-a-number data to. mitigate the consequences. However, throwing away a lot of information prior to interpolation will always incur some penalty.
