surface area vs. areal expansion
by Ecker, Christine 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Dear FreeSurfer experts, I would like to compare surface area in a vertex-by-vertex fashion across two subject groups. There has been some discussion already on the mailing list and it seems that areal expansion is a better measure than simply surface area for doing so. I also remember reading that when the data is converted from native space to a template (e.g. fsaverage), the values are automatically transformed to areal expansion measures, which have been used previously in some genetic studies (e.g. Rimol et al. (2010) or Joyner et al. (2009)). Please could you let me know if the output of –qcache (e.g. lh.area.pial.fsaverage.mgh) contains the area values (i.e. average area across triangles touching vertex) or areal expansion values - I believe these values are also compared in qdec. Many thanks, Christine

a segfault error after reinstallation of ati videocard driver on CentOS 5.5 x86_64
by Alexander Lebedev 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Dear Freesurfer users, Has anybody tried to run FS with ati video cards? I am asking because I am completely stuck with it... At the beginning everything was good except the bad brain displaying with "$rh pial" command (FS displays only a small piece of it). I decided to reinstall my videocard driver - and now I cant start even "$tkmedit" getting a "segfault error". I am providing you my report: --------------------------------------------------------------------- FREESURFER_HOME: /usr/local/freesurfer Build stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.0.0 RedHat release: CentOS release 5.5 (Final) Kernel info: Linux 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 x86_64 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) subject name: bert 2) the entire command-line executed: [root@localhost subjects]# setenv FREESURFER_HOME /usr/local/freesurfer [root@localhost subjects]# source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.csh -------- freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.0.0 -------- Setting up environment for FreeSurfer/FS-FAST (and FSL) FREESURFER_HOME /usr/local/freesurfer FSFAST_HOME /usr/local/freesurfer/fsfast FSF_OUTPUT_FORMAT nii SUBJECTS_DIR /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects MNI_DIR /usr/local/freesurfer/mni FSL_DIR /usr/local/fsl [root@localhost subjects]# tkmedit bert orig.mgz 3) the error message generated: =================================== ERROR: A segfault has occurred.

contrasts using DODS
by Jose Luis Cantero Lorente 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Hello, -  we are analyzing cortical thickness data from three groups and want to study whether there are between-group differences after removing the effects of three covariates. We are assuming different intercepts and different slopes (DODS) and would like to be sure that the contrasts performed for the ANOVA and for the post hoc comparisons are correct: ANOVA 1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 e.g., post-hoc analysis for testing group1 > group2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 -1 0 I would appreciate your help with this matter.

intensity values of original T1 rounded to next integer
by Micheli, C. 11 Jan '11

Dear Freesurfers The command: mri_convert orig.mgz conv.mgz --conform generates a conform volume but the intensity values are rounded to the next integer. Do you know how to avoid this? Best Cristiano

Regression: Activation as a function of condition
by Adam Nitenson 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Hello Freesurfers, We are using the Sternberg Item Recognition Paradigm in our study, which involves the memorization and recognition of groups of 1, 3, 5, and 7 letters. Each run has two sets of each condition (load). We want to determine if any regions of the brain activate in a linear pattern with increased task load. I have already done regression analyses using genotype, but that was between subjects, while this analysis would be within subjects. Does anyone know how I could structure an analysis (STABLE 4) that would allow me to look at this? Is this something I have to do at the mkanalysis-sess level? Thanks, Adam Nitenson, B.S.

Re: [Freesurfer] what is subcortical volume?
by Douglas N Greve 10 Jan '11

Yes, it is accurate. Why do you think it's not? There's lots of validation stuff on the wiki. The subcortical gray matter structures are given below.

Hello, What goes into the calculation of subcortical volume? We have tried adding volumes of individual subcortical areas but the total does not equal the subcortical volume provided by aseg. Is the subcortical volume calculation accurate? Thanks, Sarah Eisenstein

redraw failed: no gl window open error
by juli＠nmr.mgh.harvard.edu 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hello, I am working in freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-v4.0.5-20081003. The issue I am having started several days ago when I was trying to create overlap of thresholded stats maps using mri_binarize and mri_concat (from sig.mgh files). When I was attempting to load the concatenated file I was getting an error "surfer: ### redraw failed: no gl window open" and in the tk window I am getting just an average recon without any overlay map. Also, now I am unable to load any of the GLMs I have ran previously. Going by the previous posts as well as http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/TksurferDisplayProblems, I have tried the following: - setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib64/GLoverride:/usr/lib/GLoverride prior to running freesurfer - NVidia driver update - setenv doublebufferflag 1 - I have also checked my xorg.conf file (attached) Depth is set to 24. If you could point me in any other direction to fix/undo this issue I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance, Juli
