Brodmann Area stats to table
by Silas 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

Hi guys! Is there an easy way to get Brodmann Area stats to table like there is for aseg and aparc stats? Thanks! Silas PS. I looked the question up and it was answered in 2011 - I was just wondering if you guys made an easy way around the problem since then :)

Intraindividual Correlation
by Martin Scherr 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

Dear Freesurfer-community, here is a question from a Freesurfer newbie. I am trying to correlate vertex measures of function (z) and structure (cortical thickness) vertex wise in the individual subject space of one patient. What would be a good tool for this? Best, Martin

mri_preproc
by shinjini＠andrew.cmu.edu 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

Hi, I couldn't find the documentation for mri_preproc. I know that roughly it resamples multiple subjects' brain images into the same space and then concatenates the vertices, but I want to know details like: Exactly how are the brains resampled? What is the procedure beyond the Talairach affine and spherical registration steps? Individual brain images have different numbers of vertices. Which vertices are chosen overall? How are they chosen? How is correspondence between a single vertex location across all the images established? Is the finite element approximation and vertex selection procedures invariant? Do they yield the same set and location of vertices despite minor variations? Under what conditions are they invariant? After the vertices are obtained how are they concatenated? Are they listed in a particular order and is this order the same for all the brains? How is the order determined? Thanks in advance for your reply, ~Jen

Qdec question
by Abrishamchi, Aurash David 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

Hello, I still cannot solve this issue. All help will be appreciated. I am running Qdec analysis on about 100 subjects and correcting with FDR. Once I do this I click the "find clusters and go to max" button and Qdec gives me a plot of all the data as well as taking me to the max vertex in the #1 cluster. I want to extract the data from the table so that I can put it in excel and calculate some correlations however I cannot find a way to do so without hovering or clicking on each data point and manually entering the values into excel. As you can imagine this is very tedious when there are 100 subjects and 12 regions that we are looking at. Please let me know if there is an alternative way to export the data into excel or even to a word processing file so that the values can be copied and pasted into excel.

Manual editing compared to non-manual editing.
by Kasper Jessen 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

Hi, Thank you for a good freesurfer course in Copenhagen. After the course i have been wondering if there is available litterature regarding manuel editing versus non-manuel editing? Has any studies investigated the outcome/results from manual editing versus non-manuel editing on the same sample of subjects? Best regards, Kasper Jessen

Difference between surfcluster and volcluster
by Katharina Zech 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

Dear all, I run the surfcluster analysis (mri_surfcluster). But the tutorial tells me that there exists also mri_volcluster: Using the outputs from the estimation step and the simulations, mri_surfcluster (or *mri_volcluster*) will create two outputs: the summary file with a table of the clusters it found, and an output surface map of the clusters wth the cluster-wise p-value. The sample mri_surfcluster command is: mri_surfcluster --src lh.gender_age.glmdir/age/sig.mgh \ --csd lh.gender_age.glmdir/csd1-age.csd \ --csd lh.gender_age.glmdir/csd2-age.csd \ --sum lh.gender_age.glmdir/age/sig.cluster.sum \ --ocp lh.gender_age.glmdir/age/sig.cluster.mgh Could you please tell me the difference between surfcluster and volcluster? How do I have to change the preprocessing steps mris_preproc, smoothing (surf2surf), mdi_glmfit and the simulation to get volcluster instead of surfcluster? Thanks in advance! Katharina

Re: [Freesurfer] Cortical gray matter surface area
by will brown 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

Sorry, my mistake. I did mean surface area rather than volume. I am unsure as to how to find the total surface area of the cortical gray matter as ?.aparc.stats file only report WhiteSurfArea. Thanks, Will Message: 17 Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2014 00:48:29 -0400 From: Douglas Greve <greve(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] Cortical gray matter surface area To: freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Message-ID: <53FD631D.4070608(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" The volume for each structure is given as the 4th column. If you want total GM volume, look in aseg.stats doug On 8/26/14 8:43 PM, will brown wrote: > Hi all, > > I am a little unclear as to how to find the cortical grey matter > volume in the stats output files.

seed-based functional connectivity: mkcontrast-sess
by Robby De Pauw 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

Dear FreeSurfer community, I was wondering what my contrast-matrix should look like when doing a first-level analyses since there is no task involved. I tried looking at the -help flag, but I can’t see any options for setting a matrix without entering the numb of conditions. This was the command I tried to use: mkcontrast-sess -rmprestim -analysis restingstate.sm05.lh -contrast restingstate.lh I’m sure I’m missing something here, but I can’t figure out what to do. Thanks for the already given support!! Best regards, Robby Robby De Pauw, dra.

LGI Topological Defect
by Tara Miskovich 06 Sep '14

06 Sep '14

Hi all, I am getting an error that seems common for people running LGI where it crashes due to a topological defect. I have run mris_euler_number and everything looks fine. Plus, I went through each slice and made sure the surfaces looked good. Any advice on any other steps I can take? I have already tried rerunning recon-all. Thank you! Tara
