automated ROI extraction for overlays
by Nguyen, Thang Q 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hello all, This may be a newbie question but I couldn't find any information relating to automated overlay data extraction on Freesurfer. I tried searching the wiki page and the email archives with no luck. I have already used tkregister2 to align the freesurfer volume and the functional volume. I was wondering if there was an automated method of extracting the functional overlay values based on the Freesurfer parcellation atlas and it's thickness values. Thank you for your help, -Thang

ab blocked design analysis
by Tom Bayer 22 May '06

22 May '06

to analyze an ab blocked experiment, is it appropriate to run selfreqavg? I am analyzing data from a somatopy experiment, so the stimulus is not expanding or rotating but it is phasic. I analyzed it as an eccentric stimulus with positive value. Is this an appropriate choice? -tom

FreeSurfe NIFTI
by Doug Greve 19 May '06

19 May '06

I just wanted to let you know that I've modified the way FreeSurfer stores NIFTI1 files (these are the single .nii and .nii.gz files). The change is somewhat esoteric: the vox_offset is now 352 instead of 348. 352 is the NIFTI spec, so we were technically out of compliance before, though AFNI, FSL, and SPM did not seem to have a problem with it. doug -- Douglas N.

retinotopy starting with blanks
by Dahlia Sharon 18 May '06

18 May '06

Hi, I'm analyzing a retinotopy data-set in which each scan started with 2 TRs of a blank screen, and then proceeded to 8 cycles as usual. Is there any possibility to tell a retinotopy analysis to ignore these 2 TRs? Thanks! Dahlia. PS - I can't answer as to why these 2 blank TRs were put there.

Surfers, Can someone please point me towards some detailed description of the algorithms that freesurfer uses to process the data.......maybe there are some papers that talk about this?? Anthony

Installation troubleshoot (Afni won't work)
by Dreyfuss Jeremie 18 May '06

18 May '06

Hello everyone, I'm new here to the freesurfer community, and i've install the latest package on my Linux.64 version. I've completed the installation stages described on MGH site and it all seemed to work quite well until I've tried to run the mc-sess routine. The error message I got was that AFNI's to3d routine couldn't be found. I then realised that in Freesurfer's package there wasn't any AFNI directory to be found. I've downloaded AFNI from their official site and put the extracted file in the directory $FREESURFER_HOME/afni/$os I've also modified the FreeSurferEnv.sch to include the following lines: setenv AFNI_DIR $FREESURFER_HOME/afni setenv AFNI_BIN $AFNI_DIR/$os where $os is Linux on my computer. Still mc-sess wouldn't work on my computer. Please if somebody can tell what I'm doing wrong it would be of great help. Thanks in advance.

mri_normalize resampling my monkey data
by Mark Pinsk 18 May '06

18 May '06

Still working thru these steps with a 0.5 mm monkey volume... I've run mri_nu_correct with no problem, set my control points, and then I run mri_normalize as follows: mri_normalize –monkey –f control.dat -g 1 nu.mgz T1.mgz but I end up with a 1mm resampled volume with a poor normalization. anything I can try differently here? Thanks Mark

I just installed the latest release on my mac ox 10.4 Trying to set control points on a monkey volume, and something wierd keeps happening... I will middle-click to set the control point, and the green cross will appear, but when I move to another location to set another control point, the first point disappears. Am I missing something here? Thanks Mark

inflated images
by anthony gallo 18 May '06

18 May '06

Hello all, Can some one edify me regarding how FreeSurfer is able to maintain the same basic brain geometry (hemisphere shape) when it creates an inflated file image. I would figure that some areas (because of deeper sulci) would blow up (produce more inflated surface) much differently than others thus not maintaining the basic shape. I was thinking that maybe the program just flattens it all period, but then I wouldn't really be able to explain how you can still view the respective cortical thickness data because that too must correspond with all the nooks and crannies............. I appreciate your help, Anthony
