Hi, Encountering some difficulties with LGI on a RHEL4 box (64bit) with MATLAB v7.6.0.324 (R2008a) installed. Subject was processed under fsv405.

Hi all, I was going through the FSFAST TUTORIAL from wiki( https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsFastTutorial?action=highlight&v…) I got the follwoing error during mri_volcluster, "NOT Adjusting threshold for 1-tailed test ERROR: you must specify a pos or neg sign with --fwhm" I have fwhm.dat file with 4. something vlaue.

Statistic analysing for a mask
by Alexandru Hanganu 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Dear Freesurfer users, We have an MNI mask and we want to apply this mask on a group of subjects for small volume correction. so we did the following steps: 1. cd $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/surf fslregister --s fsaverage --mov /path/to/TT_avg152T1.nii --reg TT_avg152T1_to_fsaverage.dat 2. cd $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/surf mri_vol2surf --mov /path/to/ROI5.nii --reg TT_avg152T1_to_fsaverage.dat --projdist-max 0 1 0.1 --interp nearest --hemi lh --out lh.fsaverage.ROI5.mgh 3. cd $SUBJECTS_DIR/subjid/surf mri_surf2surf --s subjid --trgsubject fsaverage --hemi lh --sval lh.thickness --tval lh.thickness.fsaverage.mgh . . . Surf2Surf: Dividing by number of hits (163842) INFO: nSrcLost = 0 nTrg121 = 147410, nTrgMulti = 16432, MnTrgMultiHits = 2.25237 nSrc121 = 86069, nSrcLost = 0, nSrcMulti = 42416, MnSrcMultiHits = 2.31875 Saving target data 4. Next step was just for verifying, but we received an error (maybe it's not so important): cd $SUBJECTS_DIR/subjid/surf mri_segstats --seg $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/surf/lh.fsaverage.ROI5.mgh --in lh.thickness.fsaverage.mgh --sum segstats-ROI5.txt Loading /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage/surf/lh.fsaverage.ROI5.mgh Loading lh.thickness.fsaverage.mgh ERROR: dimension mismatch between input volume and seg We want to determine the statistics only for this mask for the whole group of subjects (qdec, or mri_glmfit). If the mapping of our subjects thickness data was good, what should we do next in order to achieve our goal ? Thank you.

hello in the case that i have a ROI and i don't know wich voxeles are in there, or the coordenates of those voxeles, i want to create a specific label that only contains those voxeles, how can i do that??' _________________________________________________________________ Arrastrar y colocar: acceso muy fácil al uso compartido de fotos con Fotos de Windows Live™. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowslive/photos.aspx

Problem with post-spm registered data
by Dave Brohawn 06 Jan '09

06 Jan '09

Hello, Josh Roffman and I recently ran an fMRI scan. Our subject's data viewed in tkmedit seemed to be shifted inferiorly in the coronal view by a wide margin (an inch or so), leaving no functional activation in the top of the cortex, even when set at an extremely low threshold. When running the fMRI scan, we checked our slice prescription and ensured the area of view covered the entire cortex. We also checked the raw data output during the scan in the viewing window, and functional activity was present. After running the unpacking and recon-all processes, I ran the pre-proc command and spm-register, and viewed the output using tkregister2. The registered functional data matched up beautifully with the underlying anatomy, and went right to the top of the cortex in the coronal view. We ran our analysis using the appropriate paradigm files (has worked without fail for our previous subjects) and there is no functional activity in the top inch or so of the cortex whatsoever. Please let me know if you have an answer to how this could have happened. Dave Brohawn

reg-feat2anat failed
by Wang, Xin 06 Jan '09

06 Jan '09

Hello, Freesurfer group, I am registering the fMRI results to surface using reg-feat2anat (v 1.26.2.1 2007/08/15) and tkregister2. The automatic registration catastrophically failed in the subject space, but worked fine in the standard space. The orientations of example_func.nii.gz in the subject space are flipped in any view. I use the tkmedit to view the example_func, and found the orientation is wrong. It seems Freesurfer can not read nifti header correctly. I attach the reg-feat2anat log file and an example_func.nii.gz. I found the following message from Freesurfer email list. http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg05573.html Does Freesurfer have a solution for this type of problems by now? Thank you in advance, Xin

questions about region-wise analysis data
by Siddharth Srivastava 06 Jan '09

06 Jan '09

Hi everyone, while the machine is busy crunching through our data set, i would like to prepare myself from the next step of the analysis, which is a region-wise analysis of the computed metrics by the freesurfer pipeline. Being a complete novice in the use of this software, i would like to know how do i go about doing the following: 1) With the parcellations already available in freesurfer, i would like to extract metrics (curvature, lgi, thickness) etc. for each label, and process them outside freesurfer (matlab, since i am more used to it). Is it possible to do this within freesurfer or without, i.e read these values on the pial/white matter/inflated surfaces, ans also extract ones corresponding to a particular label? 2) How do i go about generating a group average of the various maps that freesurfer generates (curvature/thickness/lgi) ? As i understand, the analysis is done entirely in the subject space. Can i apply a transformation to the generated surfaces for averaging? Or does it require a re-processing after registering/reslicing all the data to a common space? 3) I am still struggling with a proper colormap, which can bring out the structure in out data. I see very nice renderings in various publications, of data generated with freesurfer. Is it possible to tweak the colormap to get such a rendering? Thanking you all in anticipation, sid.

vertex/talairach coordinates
by Keller, Corey J. 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

Hi Freesurfers, I have a list of 50 vertices picked from an average subject's inflated brain in mne_analyze and would like to find the talairach coordinates for each of these vertices. Is there a more efficient way to do this than to load tksurfer and find these vertices by hand? Thanks again. -Corey

specific parcellation
by GaBbo Go. Es. 01 Jan '09

01 Jan '09

a program gave me a *.mgh that contains specific areas of significance of cortical thickness between groups. those areas are different of the parcellation generated by FreeSurfer, and, i want to take that area from the *.mgh and to create a specific label on FreeSurfer that only show that areas of significance to make the measurements with FreeSurfer on that specific area.

I have a program that gave a PET mask (*.img) with a specific region of activation, I want to know wich are the vertex of that region, to take them to FS and to create a label for making the thickness of that specific zone of mayor metabolic consumeGabriel _________________________________________________________________ ¡Muéstrales cómo!
