Registration of both the brain and the "surf" files to the same template.
by Paolo 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

TO: freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu SUBJECT: Registration of both the brain and the "surf" files to the same template. AIM: register e.g. brainmask.mgz and ?h.white for many subjects all to the same template, so that I can then take slices of brainmask.mgz and the superimposed WM surface accross subjects and compare them, confident that they are well alligned. WHAT I TRIED: used *mri_robust_register *to register all the brainmask.mgz images to a T1_1mm_template. I looked for the respective "surface" template to register the surfaces, and maybe use *mri_surf2surf*, cannot find a "surface" template that corresponds to the "T1" template. *Ideally I would like to use the same .lta transformation BOTH for the T1 image and the surface*. As I understand (?) they have a different mesh-transformation matrix. Best regards, Paolo

Comparing LME models
by Bronwyn Overs 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Hi Mailing List, If you are comparing two matlab based linear mixed effects models (vertex-wise) with the same number of random effects (e.g. model with random effect for time vs. model with random effect for age at baseline), which segmentation should you use to estimate the parameters for both models?

Reminder: 3.5-year Postdoc Position in Social Neuroscience at Bangor University, UK
by Kami Koldewyn 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Applications are invited for a 3.5-year, full time postdoctoral position with Dr. Kami Koldewyn in the Developmental Social Vision lab<https://sites.google.com/view/devsocialvislab/> in the School of Psychology at Bangor University<https://www.bangor.ac.uk/psychology/> (Wales, UK). The post is part of a European Research Council funded Starting Grant focused on Developmental Social Neuroscience. The project, ‘Becoming Social’, investigates developmental change in social perception, social learning and the social brain in late-childhood/early adolescence. The successful applicant will be the coordinator of the first major research stream of the Becoming Social project, which focuses on understanding the typical adult system and developing tasks and methods that will be applied throughout the five-year project in the longitudinal developmental streams. Methods used may include behavioural, eye-tracking and neuroimaging (e.g. fMRI, DWI) measures and the postdoctoral researcher who fills this post will be very involved, both conceptually and technically, in the design and construction of research questions and the tasks to address them. Duties will include working to develop tasks and materials that will be used across the entire project (including not only typical adults but children/adolescents aged 9-16 both with and without an Autism Spectrum Disorder). The postdoctoral researcher will be a key member of the Becoming Social team and will work closely with other team members. A PhD or equivalent in a relevant field (e.g., Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Biomedical Imaging/Engineering or Computer Science), as well as outstanding written and spoken communication skills are essential. In addition, this particular post requires significant technical and/or neuroimaging abilities. The successful candidate needs to be comfortable with tackling new imaging and analysis methods and have the technical chops to do so. Closing date for applications: 10th April, 2017. Proposed start date: Between May 1st and July 1st 2017 (though exact timing is flexible for the right candidate).

Creating an illustration on what Freesurfer has considered to be intracranial volume
by Erik Lindberg 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Dear Freesurfer experts, I would like to create an image on tissue that Freesurfer has been included into the intracranial volume calculation. Is there anyway to summarize segmentations masks so I get one mask containing all tissue that has been included into the intracranial volume? best Erik

A question regarding LUT/Freeview
by amir hosein 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Dear All, A quick question. I Want to use Freeview to display a number of brain areas (that I have chosen for some purposes) on the brain. As I have studied in this forum, it is suggested that I should create a custom Look-Up-Table in which I only keep the labels that are my target and erase others, so that when I give the Freeview a range of lables, only my target labels are displayed. So far, so good. Now, this is how I have changed part of the LUT, as an example: … 2027 ctx-rh-rostralmiddlefrontal 75 50 125 0 2028 ctx-rh-superiorfrontal 20 220 160 0 2029 ctx-rh-superiorparietal 20 180 140 0 2032 ctx-rh-frontalpole 100 0 100 0 2033 ctx-rh-temporalpole 70 70 70 0 2034 ctx-rh-transversetemporal 150 150 200 0 2035 ctx-rh-insula 255 192 32 0 … As you can see, I have omitted the labels #2030 and 2031 from my LUT. Now, I load this LUT in Freeview, and on the box on the left side I do not see these two labels, as they are already omitted. However, when I give the freeview this range 2028:2035, still the two labels of 2031 and 2031 are displayed !! I have omitted them from the list, but they still want to come! Do you think I am doing something wrong? Many thanks, Amir

eTIV estimation on same subject over time
by Melanie Ganz 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Dear list, we are currently working with some longitudinal data where we would like to measure volume changes over time and compare the cross-sectional and longitudinal stream on. When we run the cross-sectional stream and just look at changes of eTIV within subjects over a period of 6 months to a year we get 3-4 subjects out of 110 that have eTIV changes of 20-30%. I've double checked the tailarach transforms using the talairach_afd tools and also manually checked the transforms with tkregister. Everything seems to be ok. I know when using the longitudinal stream we can use the single eTIV value for volume correction, but for comparison in case of the cross-sectional stream we want to use the single time point values of eTIV. Any ideas what else I can check or is this simply noise transferred from the linear estimation of eTIV?

Fwd: recon-all error
by Patrícia Klobušiaková 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Hello FreeSurfer Developers, I have installed Freesurfer on Windows using VMware - CentOS 64-bit (the one from FSLuser Linux installation). Everytime I run recon-all, there is an error. The same error occurs when I try to rum mri2mesh command in SIMNIBS toolbox which uses Fresurfer (recon-all), too. I'm sending screenshots and logfile attached. Version: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c uname -a: Linux fslvm6.localdomain 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 12 00:41:43 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Thanks for your help. Best, Patricia
