Follow-up to SPM99 Gem 3: NaNing zero values from the NISOx blog (formerly Neuroimaging Statistics Tips & Tools)

This was the topic of SPM99 Gem 3, converting NaN’s to zeros. For SPM8, see the following script zeronan.m that will zero NaN’s for you.

-Tom

function ofNm = zeronan(ifNm,val)
% FORMAT ofNm = zeronan(ifNm,val)
% ifNm  - Input filename(s)
% val   - Value to set NaN's to (defaults to zero)
%
% Output:
% ofNm  - Cell array of output filenames.
%
%
% Images have NaN's replaced with zeros, and new images, prefixed with a
% 'z', are created.
