Dear Doug, Are there reasons why registering to my_subject_average (template defined from, say, average in a cross-sectional sample) can be better than registering to fsaverage? Thank you. Best, Chintan

Local gyrification index - vertex-wise analysis values
by Buse Merve Ürgen 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Dear Freesurfer developers, I would like to run Local Gyrification Index analysis for a group of healthy controls and a single patient. After running recon-all -s <subj> -localGI command, we get lh.pial_lgi and rh.pial_lgi surf files. In the last stage of this analysis, local gyrification index values are calculated at each pial vertices. In the wiki, it is said that the next process should be done in qdec, but since I have only one patient, GLM analysis would not be suitable. Thus, I would like to get the LGI values of each subject as e.g. text files (like stats files for curvature, thickness, gm volume), and use them for my own analysis (not in qdec). I know that we can get parcel-wise anaysis values using this command: mri_segstats --annot CASE lh aparc \ --i $SUBJECTS_DIR/CASE/surf/lh.pial_lgi \ --sum lh.aparc.pial_lgi.stats But I would like to use vertex-wise analysis values for my won analysis. Is it possible? Can I learn the command I need to use to get these values for each subject? Thank you, Buse -- Buse Urgen

Repeated amygdala dev7-segmentation volumes do not correspond
by Reetta-Liina Armio 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Hi! I have done twice the analysis of amygdala segmentation (dev 7 version) with exactly same way. The volumes do not correspond each other and there is approximately 2mm3 difference in volumes randomly in either direction. Is this normal or is it something to do with the dev 7 version? Should I be worried? Thank you! Best, Reetta-Liina Armio

Dear Surfer & Rudolph, Hi, I tried to run mris_pmake, but only got this message: I'm sorry, but an error condition has occurred. While I was checking on the options file, I couldn't access the options file. Does it exist? How can I use mris_pmake? I'm working with Vitaly Napadow, and I would like to measure the distance between peak activated voxels on somatotopic stimulation. (I'm running Freesurfer 5.3 stable version on CentOS 6.7 (64 bit machine)) Thanks in advance! Hyungjun Kim Senior Researcher Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine

Postdoctoral Research Associate in neuroimaging/data science
by Dayan, Eran 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

A Postdoctoral Research Associate position is immediately open to work with the Network Neuroscience lab (dayanlab.web.unc.edu<http://neurojobs.sfn.org/jobs/10443717/dayanlab.web.unc.edu>) at the Biomedical Research Imaging Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The position is open to accomplished and highly motivated candidates, with an interest in neuroimaging and clinical neuroscience. The lab focuses on fundamental questions relating to brain network organization in health and disease, while aiming to develop methods and tools that could eventually be used in the clinic. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will develop and test a dimensional analysis framework for neurological dysfunction, using rich existing multimodal neuroimaging datasets obtained from patients and age-matched controls. Ample training and career development opportunities will be provided, as well as opportunities to collaborate with other groups at UNC. Ph.D. or an MD/Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, Psychology or other related fields is required. Excellent quantitative background, relevant programming experience (MATLAB, Python or R), experience analyzing functional and/or structural MRI data and a track record of first-author publications in peer-reviewed journals are required. Experience in machine learning (particularly deep learning) would be advantageous. To apply, please visit https://unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/107413 and click the Apply for this Job link/button. For informal inquiries about the position, please email Dr. Eran Dayan at: eran_dayan(a)med.unc.edu The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.

functional to anatomical registration
by David Beeler 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi freesurfer people, I'm trying to understand preprocessing a little better, especially registration of functional data to anatomical space. I am currently running everything in the volume, doing motion correction per-run and then pooling all the runs in the session together for the first level analysis. As far as I can tell, running preproc-sess with -per-run takes the raw functional data (f.nii.gz), pulls out the middle timepoint and calls it template.nii.gz, bbregisters func to anat and creates a register.dof6.lta file in each of the functional run folders, transforms the aparc+aseg from the subject's mri folder and binarizes it into a brainmask (brain.nii.gz), and runs mc-afni using f.nii.gz as the input vol and template.nii.gz as the template vol to create the motion corrected volume (fmcpr.nii.gz). Is this correct? Then when I run selxavg3-sess it somehow mri_converts an intermediary motion corrected volume from the mc-afni command above (eg <run#>/tmp.mc-afni2.20097/outvol.nii.gz) into an fmc.nii.gz file in each run folder. Are these fmc.nii.gz's supposed to be coregistered between runs? (i.e. if the subject moved a bunch between two of the runs, would those two volumes be aligned at all?). How do these files work? At the end I have an analysis directory with my betas, sigmaps, etc. What functional volume is everything registered to? Is the transform between this functional volume and anatomical space the register.dof6.lta file located in the session directory? Thanks for bearing with me! -David

Merge Images
by Cleudiana Lima 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Could you please help me with my problem? I have a Nifti image with segmented white matter hyperintensity and a wparc image made at freesurfer. I want to know how I can know the names of the Nifti image areas, using a wparc as a location map. So, the problem is: identify all areas. I wanted an automatic process that would carry out this evaluation generating volumetric data and the names of the regions of intersection between these two images. -- Cleudiana Lima

problems of testing freesurfer
by Danny Deng 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi developers, I just installed the software and there are so many problems I wish to seek help from you when I tried “Test your freesurfer installation” on the website Example 2 I tried several commands as follow but all failed: 1. Xues-MacBook-Air:~ DannyDeng$ export SUBJECTS_DIR=<$FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/sample-001.mgz .> -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline’ 2. Xues-MacBook-Air:~ DannyDeng$ > export SUBJECTS_DIR=<cp $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/sample-001.mgz .> -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline’ 3. Xues-MacBook-Air:~ DannyDeng$ >export SUBJECTS_DIR=<&FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/sample-001.mgz .> -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline’ 4. DannyDeng$ DannyDeng$SUBJECTS_DIR -bash: DannyDengcp/Applications/freesurfer/subjects/sample-001.mgz: No such file or directory Besides, I think I can’t find nifti file in my freesurfer folder. example 3 Same problem like example 2: Xues-MacBook-Air:~ DannyDeng$ export SUBJECTS_DIR=<cp $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/sample-001.mgz.> -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline’ example 4: Only this one I successfully opened it. Thanks very much. Best Regards, Danny Deng
