Postdoctoral Fellow Positions in a longitudinal birth cohort imaging study
by Anqi Qiu 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

Postdoctoral Fellow Positions Job description: Growing Up in Singapore Towards Healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) is the most comprehensive birth cohort study over the world. The GUSTO mothers were recruited during pregnancy between 2009 and 2010. We have followed the GUSTO family since then. The GUSTO study collects the unique data on cognitive functions, children behaviors, psychopathology, and brain imaging at multiple points from birth to 7 years of age. We aim to study whether mothers mood, diet, and family lifestyle since pregnancy affect 1) their babies cognitive and brain development; 2) psychopathology later in life. We also aim to examine the role of genetics in such maternal influences. We are looking for postdoctoral fellows who are interested in the GUSTO study. Requirements: 1. PHD in Cognitive Neuroscience, or Psychology, or Imaging Genetics; 2. Experience with MRI-based neuroimage techniques; 3. Knowledge in statistical analysis is necessary; 4. Good communication and writing skills in English language; 5. Knowledge in longitudinal analysis will be plus plus. If you are interested in the jobs listed above, please send your CV to Deans Chair, Associate Prof. Anqi QIU Department of Biomedical Engineering National University of Singapore Email: bieqa(a)nus.edu.sg Phone: +(65) 6516 7002

Errors in LGI computation
by k.ohmstedt＠stud.uni-heidelberg.de 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

Dear Freesurfers, I try computing the local gyrification index following the method developed by Marie Schaer and her colleagues. The process itself finishes without errors, yet there remain large grey areas of variable size on the cortex, indicating errors in the computation of the gyrification index. They are mainly situated in the regions next to the ventricles. I checked the reconstructed surfaces after running the recon-all command and there do not seem to be any errors or lesions. My system is a Mac with macOS Sierra (Version 10.12.6) and freesurfer Version 6.0.0 is running. Do you have any ideas what could cause these problems? Any help is appreciated! Thank you in advance and best regards, Kai Ohmstedt

Postdoctoral Research Fellow Position in Infant and Child Brain MRI analysis
by Lilla Zollei 25 Oct '17

25 Oct '17

See the attached pdf or the text below. Lilla >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A postdoctoral fellow is recruited for two NIH funded projects focusing on developing Freesurfer-compatible brain image analysis tools for children. One project aims to extend the tools for brain imaging data for children between 2-6 years of age. The second project aims to extend the tools for longitudinal analysis of developmental data from older children and adolescents as part of the Human Connectome Project in Development. Code development will focus on pair- and group-wise registration tools, segmentation methods and surface-based image analysis algorithms. The successful applicant should have a doctoral degree in a field related to medical imaging (e.g., computer science, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, applied mathematics, computational neuroscience). She/he is expected to have a strong research background in method development and brain image analysis and should be able to work independently. Strong programming skills (for example, C/C++, MATLAB, and/or Python) are a must and prior experience with brain image-analysis packages (such as SPM, FSL, FreeSurfer, AFNI) is desirable. In addition, the candidate must also possess excellent English verbal and written communication skills. This position will be hosted by the Laboratory of Computational Neuroimaging, MGH and it will offer great opportunities to collaborate with a large group of scientists from diverse research disciplines. Approximate start date is winter 2017. Successful applicants will be appointed at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. For consideration please send a statement of interest, a CV and a list of three potential references via email to Lilla Zöllei, PhD (lzollei(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu) The search will continue until the position is filled. We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Re: [Freesurfer] segmentHA znzread failed error
by Iglesias Gonzalez, Eugenio 25 Oct '17

Dear Arkadiy Andrew Hoopes just pinpointed that they have tracked down these warnings to a recent code change. It’s happening for everyone using dev. You can ignore these znz error statements, they are completely innocuous. It’s just caused by a print statement that shouldn’t have been added.

smoothing a surface map
by Eryilmaz, H. Hamdi 25 Oct '17

25 Oct '17

Hello all, How can I simply smooth a surface map (constructed using MRIwrite) using a specific FWHM? mri_surf2surf requires source subject as an input but all I want to do is to smooth a single group map. Thanks in advance for your help! Best, Hamdi

Hello Freesurfer Team, I'm having trouble running preproc-sess, but only with the mkbrainmask-sess step. I tried just running this step and got this output.

Thanks everyone! Doug- I will check the storage. If the outputs look good, is this something to worry about and rerun? Much appreciated, Arkadiy -- Arkadiy L. Maksimovskiy, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Research Fellow McLean Imaging Center, McLean Hospital Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

mri_surf2surf failure in FS6.0
by Dongnandi 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

Dear Freesurfer experts, I have a binary brainmask made in volumetric space and trying to transfer it into surface space, first I use mri_vol2surf to transfer the mask into fsaverage space, then run mri_surf2surf (fs 6.0) to down sample it to fsaverage5 space. After vol2surf, some values on the vertex in fsaverage space would be less than 1 due to the interpolation, however, I find values on these vertexes (<1 in fsaverage) come to be 0 after mri_surf2surf in faverage5 space. it doesn't happen in version 5.3, how can I solve this in 6.0? Many thanks, Dong Haoming
