Errors when launching SPM8
by xxxxx xxxxx 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

Hi all, Someone asked about the following error message when opening SPM8 in Matlab back in December: Initialising SPM...Error using fileparts Too many output arguments. Error in cfg_util>local_initapps (line 1217) [p n e v] = fileparts(appcfgs{k}); Error in cfg_util (line 587) local_initapps; Error in spm_jobman (line 149) cfg_util('initcfg'); % This must be the first call to cfg_util Error in spm (line 344) spm_jobman('initcfg'); Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback I get the exact same errors (on MATLAB2013a newly installed on iMac). Please can someone tell me if this problem was solved? Thanks!

[Tracula] Run trac-all with 2 time points for DTI scan but 1 time point for T1 scan. How to?
by r.navarra＠itab.unich.it 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

Hi, I need to run trac-all on subjects scanned first time in T1 and DTI, second time DTI only. How to configure dmrirc? I've seen long.example but it seems that it require T1 second run too. Tnx, Riccardo

infant atlas segmentation
by Mark Plantz 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Hello FreeSurfers, I recently obtained a set of infant templates. Out of curiousity, I decided to view one of the input brains with the provided segmented volume file. It appears that there is some misalignment. I wouldn't expect the alignment to be perfect, since I am basically overlaying an average of multiple brains onto one. However, it looks like this misalignment may be caused by either: 1.) the segmentation volume file being shifted down or 2.) the slices not lining up properly (i.e. one file starts before the other). Any ideas what could cause a problem like this? Could it be that the segmented files are simply not compatible with FreeSurfer? Thanks for the help, Mark

Skull stripped MNI305
by Fotiadis, Panagiotis 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Hi, I was wondering if there is a skull stripped version of the file /usr/local/freesurfer/stable5_0_0/average/mni305.cor.mgz stored anywhere. I tried applying bet and mri_watershed on the mni305.cor.mgz file (with different frequencies as well) but there were still parts of the skull showing. Thank you for your time! Panos

recon-all error
by Smian 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Hi everyone, I'm quite new to FreeSurfer, my apologies for asking the obvious. I tried to run recon-all on multi echo T2* weighted data and got the following error: 'input(s) cannot have multiple frames' I was wondering how I should go about running recon-all on multi echo data. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

The MNI directory directly under freesurfer is there, but the MNI_PERL5 directory is not. e.g, bash-3.2$ echo $MNI_PERL5LIB /Applications/freesurfer/mni/lib/../System/Library/Perl/5.8.6 bash-3.2$ cd $MNI_PERL5LIB bash: cd: /Applications/freesurfer/mni/lib/../System/Library/Perl/5.8.6: No such file or directory Is there a patch to fix? thanks Michelle On Mon, Jul 22, 2013 at 9:25 AM, Bruce Fischl <fischl(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu>wrote: > Hi Michelle > > is the MNI stuff installed?

Pial boundary overshoot
by Victor Kovac 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Dear Freesurfer experts, I have run recon-all on brains atrophied by a neurodegenerative disease. as you can see in the attached images, the pial boundary seems to have overshot and contains mostly arachnoid space, and the white matter boundary (yellow) includes substantial amounts of cortical gray matter. This is the case in all slices in three of the most atrophied brains. Do you have any suggestion as to what I can do to get these brains analyzed properly? Would perhaps changing the threshold for white matter intensity with control points help? I have manually adjusted the talairach, but it has not improved this issue. Thank you for your help! Victor

error with fast_selxavg3
by Leila Reddy 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Hi, I am running into an error with fast_selxavg3 (NaN values in XtX). Other have people reported similar problems on the mailing list and I've tried implementing some of the suggestions (namely, using -nowhiten and checking that all events exist in my paradigm file), but I can't get rid of the error. I have an event-related design with very short events (duration of 1 screen refresh = 16.6ms) presented at random intervals. The error only occurs for the -gammafit and -spmhrf analyses and not for -fir. When I check the Xtmp.mat there are indeed NaNs in the first 2 columns of the X matrix. The commands I issue and the output of bugr are below.I attach the paradigm file from one run of the experiment (there are 5 runs in all but I started focusing on just one in order to troubleshoot). TR=2 and numTRs=172. Any help would be much appreciated.

rtview
by Nicholas Paul Denisuk 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Dear Freesurfer Users, I am running a retinotopic analysis in the 5.1.0 version of freesurfer. As tksurfer is not ideal for viewing the retinotopic data, I have been trying to find a download for rtview. I tried to go to the following link: ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/transfer/outgoing/flat/greve/rtview. However, this like will not work for me. Is there anywhere else that I can download rtview? Thanks, Nick
