help Optseq2 study design
by Ellen JOOS 27 May '21

27 May '21

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer team, I am currently preparing my first fMRI study and used OptSeq2 for creating the trial sequence. Since I am not experienced with the study design in MRI (I mainly conducted EEG studies so far), I would like to have your professional opinion on my design choices and use of your program. The parameters of my study are the following: I will conduct a multiband fMRI study with an event-related design that will have a TR of 0.5s. I will present 10 different types of trials that will have a length of 2.5s each, but that will be shown with different amounts of repetitions across the experiment. Within the 2.5s trial time, I included a fixed time period of 1.3s to respond. As indicated in your recommendations, I added time to the overall presentation time for the "NULL events" that corresponds to the time needed for one of my trial types (as if I would have another trial type). You can find the output of OptSeq attached. My questions are the following: 1) Did I use the program correctly by having a fixed response time window within the trial duration estimation? 2) Is the use of the NULL events (as can be seen in the attached file) correct and sufficient to introduce varying amounts of time between the individual trials such that the hemodynamic response can be captured appropriately? 3) In the summary of the OptSeq results, I found an efficiency value of 0.009 and a VRFAvg of 6.24. I saw in your recommendations that the VRFAvg should be 20-40. Is the result of my calcuation too bad to have an efficient recording that allows analyzing the data in an event-related manner? 4) In the actual experiment I will present the attached sequence twice. I have now the options to either present two different sequences (e.g. the two most efficient sequences produced by OptSeq) or to repeat the most efficient sequence twice. Do you have a recommendation? And further, might using the same sequence across participants result in a general ordering effect that might bias my results? I am very much looking forward to your response and already thank you for your advice and help! Kind regards, Ellen Joos -- Dr. rer. nat.

Re: [Freesurfer] Overlay of MGH clusters on Broadmann atlas
by Glasser, Matthew 27 May '21

External Email - Use Caution One reason Bruce may be asking why you need MNI coordinates is that MNI coordinates are a very poor substitute for surface-based statistical maps and a terrible way to compare across subjects. It’s much better to align subjects on the surface and then make much more accurate comparisons. If you have volume coordinates from an individual subject, you can project those accurately onto that subject’s cortical surface. In Connectome Workbench we do this with Foci, but I bet FreeSurfer has something similar. You just need to ensure that the coordinates and the surface are in the same volume space (i.e. are aligned with eachother). This could be in the subject’s physical space or MNI space (keep in mind that FreeSurfer never puts surfaces in MNI space, but we make copies of them there in the HCP Pipelines). I also see you asked how to convert .mgh to a Connectome Workbench readable format. I must admit I’m not entirely sure what .mgh contains. If it is a value per vertex, you could likely use mris_convert to do the conversion to .func.gii. .annot can be converted to .label.gii with mris_convert. Matt.

Trouble with creating surface of macaque brain
by Singh, Shridhar (NIH/NEI) [C] 27 May '21

27 May '21

External Email - Use Caution Hi, I am trying to create a surface of a macaque brain, but I am running into issues with white matter. I segmented the white matter and manually edit wm.mgz, however the surf/?h.white output of recon all is not outlining everything in wm.mgz, creating problems with the surface. I attached an image demonstrating the problem. The red is wm.mgz and the yellow outline is lh.white. Why would regions identified as white matter in the left hemisphere of wm.mgz not be recognized as white matter in surf/lh.white, and what could I do to fix this issue? Also, when I run recon-all with the -autorecon2-wm flag, it seems that all my edits are reversed in wm.mgz. wm.seg.mgz is created by mri_segment, and then during mri_pretess, wm.mgz reverts back to what it was before my manual edits. Is there something wrong? Here's how I call recon-all: recon-all -autorecon2-wm \ -subjid ${subj} \ -cc-crs ${CC_string} \ -pons-crs ${PONS_string} \ -noaseg \ -xopts-use Thanks, Shridhar Singh

External Email - Use Caution Dear Experts, Is it possible to use the SUITS labels (#601-628) in the LUT to make masks and extract volume measures. I ultimately want to use the masks for tractography purposes. Can I use the mri_extract to pull out the specific ROI's and if so do I use it with aparc+aseg file. Any details and guidance would be very much appreciated. Thanks Erik

Running recon-all on dicom/IMA files within the same study
by Nathan Hostetler 26 May '21

26 May '21

External Email - Use Caution Hi FreeSurfer devs, Thanks for the program! I am assisting in a study comparing structural neuroimaging data between groups. Some of the MRI files exist as .dcm, while others exist as .IMA. Given the variability in FreeSurfer outputs noted here: https://secure-web.cisco.com/1_vxoF_SONV8dZuTkJbocobHWUZzyYP1cLrpyTK0qXC1WT…, is it a sound practice for me to run recon-all on both dicom and IMA files within the same study? Or should I convert all files to NIFTI, and run analyses on those files (to eliminate the potential influence of filetype on output)? I only ask because I've already run recon-all on quite a few IMA files, and would have to re-do these scripts if it's better for me to convert to nifti first. I look forward to your response, and thanks again for all the work that you lot do! Nate
