tkmedit coronal view - y coordinate issue
by DeCross, Stephanie N. 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

Hi, In FreeSurfer 5.3, when I click around in a coronal view slice, the Talairach y coordinate changes (in both the cursor column and the mouse column). This doesn’t make sense - it’s the same coronal slice, so shouldn’t anywhere on that same plane still have the same y coordinate? When I take a screenshot of the brain map and report the y coordinate, is there a standardized procedure for where in the slice I should click to take that coordinate to report? Thanks, Stephanie Stephanie N.

annotation files for cortical labels?
by pavitrak＠nmr.mgh.harvard.edu 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

Hi Freesurfer Team, I'd like to view a multicolored quilt of individual cortical icosahedron subdivisions. I have labels for these subdivisions stored in the SUBJECT/label folder I can also batch load all these labels and view them in Freeview but am not sure how to randomize their colors for a multicolored appearance. I looked up how to use annotation files and tried to amalgate all left cortical labels in the SUBJECT/label/ folder as below: - cd $SUBJECTS_DIR/$SUBJECT/label - mris_label2annot --s $SUBJECT --h lh --a leftall.annot But it asks for a color table file - it seems like editing the Freesurfer color table file will be quite involved. I have all the labels data and vertices in a w-file - can I use it to somehow create the colortable that I need, or the annotation file itself? Is this the correct way for my goal? Thank you. Best Regards Pavitra

Optseq2 Help!!
by Elise Cardinale 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

Hello! I am trying to use optseq to optimize my study design and cannot get it to accept the parameters I need for my task and I have officially stumped those helping me at my institution so I need your help! I am trying to run a very simple design where my stimuli are presented for 3.5 seconds and I have 60 stimuli: 10 Montreal Pain 10 Montreal Neutral 10 Ekman Neutral 10 Ekman Fear 10 Ekman Anger 5 Montreal Anger 5 Montreal Fear I calculated that at 3.5 seconds each that equals a total of 210 seconds of task and I added 40 seconds of null (~20% of task). Totaling to 250 seconds. My TR is 2.5 seconds giving me 100 time points. I tried to run the following Optseq command: optseq2 --ntp 100 --tr 2.5 --tprescan 0 --psdwin 0 16 .5 --ev angerE 3.5 10 --ev fearE 3.5 10 --ev angerM 3.5 5 --ev fearM 3.5 5 --ev neutralE 3.5 10 --ev neutralM 3.5 10 --ev pain 3.5 10 --nsearch 10000 --nkeep 6 --o EmotionalFaces_Donor_FINAL2 When I do I get the following: INFO: Setting srand48() seed to 374226 optseq2 $Id: optseq2.c,v 2.15 2009/05/26 18:13:45 greve Exp $ NoSearch = 0 nSearch = 10000 nKeep = 6 PctUpdate = 10.000000 nCB1Opt = 0 seed = 374226 Ntp = 100 TR = 2.5 TPreScan = 0 PSD Window = 0 16 0.5 nEvTypes = 7 EvNo Label Duration nRepsNom 1 angerE 3.500 10 2 fearE 3.500 10 3 angerE 3.500 5 4 fearE 3.500 5 5 neutralE 3.500 10 6 neutralM 3.500 10 7 pain 3.500 10 PctVarEvReps = 0 VarEvRepsPerCond = 0 PolyOrder = -1 tNullMax = -1 tNullMin = 0 outstem = EmotionalFaces_Donor_FINAL2 AR1 = 0 No refractory penalty Cost = eff OutStem = EmotionalFaces_Donor_FINAL2 Summary File = EmotionalFaces_Donor_FINAL2.sum nTaskAvgs = 224 ERROR: DOF Constraint Violation: number of estimates (224) is greater than or equal to the number of time points (100). To fix: (1) increase the number of time points to 225, or (2) decrease the number of event types, or, (3) reduce the size of the PSD window, or (4) increase the dPSD. If I decrease the PDS window it comes back with 10000/10000 being unusable. I can't change my dPSD interval as my TR is 2.5 and my event is 3.5 and even if I increase my time points (which is not an option- I cannot double the length of my task) it still comes back as 10000/10000 being unusable. Any advice on how to fix this?

Hi Fs Experts, In order to calculate the mean diffusivity MD in my DTI data I did the following: 1. For the Eigvals.nii (the output of dt_recon) I used the following command line: fslmaths eigvals -div 3 md.nii 2. mri_vol2vol -mov md.nii --reg register.dat --fstarg -- interp nearest -- o md.anat.mgh 3. mri_segstats --seg $SUBJECTS_DIR/mri/aseg.mgz --ctab $FREESURFER_HOME/FreeSurferColorLUT.txt --seg-erode 2 --i md.anat.mgh --sum md.stats is this correct ? I highly appreciate any suggestions and advices Mohamad
