Viewing Retinotopy In Freeview
by Taylor, Johnmark 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Hello, I am thinking of switching from Tksurfer to Freeview, but I want to make sure that retinotopy visualization still works well. Is it straightforward to view phase-encoded displays? There are a few options on tksurfer (complex color wheel, ability to set number of cycles and angle offset for phase encoded display, ability to smooth overlay) that I am not able to immediately find on freeview. Currently, to visualize retinotopy data we are using the strategy of loading both the real and complex parts of the display on tksurfer. Are there analogous ways of doing all these steps on freeview as of yet, or are they still waiting to be implemented? Thank you very much, JohnMark

MatrixReadTxT: could not scan value [8][360]
by Smaragdi A. 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Dear mailinglist, I get the following error when I run the mri_glmfit: MatrixReadTxT: could not scan value [8][360] WARNING: matlab elment type is 805908489, which is not a matrix. It seems like problems such as this one are common, but I haven't found an answer in the archive for this specific one, and my design files have worked before (I have just taken out one continuous variable, so no extra rows or anything like that). Many thanks, Areti

Flattening the surface
by Younghoon Kim 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Hello, We have a volumetric data (mgz file) of a segmented brain region. We want to detect the surface of this segmented brain volume (i.e. deep brain region) and flatten it into a 2D image with its original surface texture. We’ve noticed that Freesurfer supports an algorithm to flatten volumetric data. We wonder if this could be adapted to our data set. Can anyone offer some advice on how to apply FreeSurfer to this more generic task? Thanks, Younghoon Kim -- Younghoon Kim, Dep. of Bio and Brain Engineering, KAIST OMICS Lab Wellman Center, Massachusetts General Hospital Bouma’s Lab ---------------------------------------------- younghoon.h.kim(a)gmail.com aktivhoon(a)kaist.ac.kr

Covariates for cortical Thickness and LGI
by Ajay Kurani 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

Hi Freesurfer Experts, I am comparing a control group and 2 patient groups (HC vs Group1, HC vs Group2, Group1 vs Group2). I am interested in seeing what is the most appropriate covariate to use for both a cortical thickness analysis and LGI analysis. I do not expect major changes in brain shape etc, and at most maybe some more cortical atrophy in one of the groups) I have seen several papers using ICV for cortical thickness analyses, however I am not sure if this makes the most sense. Does ICV really scale with thickness as a global measure to account for brain differences? To me something like left mean thickness and right mean thickness may make more sense, however, I am new to CT analyses and would like to get your feedback. Along with CT, I was interested in what covariate makes most sense in an LGI analysis. Since LGI may change depending on the location within the brain, does a global measure such as total surface area (or other measure) make sense? Is there a suggested covariate to use for this type of analysis? Are there any publications from your group regarind this issue? Thanks, Ajay

Dear freesurfers, I encounter problems with the GUI, for example I can't change the "Design name" from "Untitled" to a custom title. I get following error when I start qdec with .tcsh from the terminal, which might be related: pci id for fd 4: 80ee:beef, driver (null) libGL error: core dri or dri2 extension not found libGL error: failed to load driver: vboxvideo Reading /usr/local/freesurfer/tktools/tkUtils.tcl Using /usr/local/freesurfer/lib/tcl/fsgdfPlot.tcl I am using using freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.3.0 on a Ubuntu 14.04 Thanks, Constantin

FreeSurfer registration tool in ASL image
by Frank Robert 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

Hello FreeSurfer expert I want to use registration tools of FreeSurfer to register arterial spin labeling (ASL) images to DWI images in stroke study. Is there any material to talk about this topic? I use mri_robust_register to register 8 slice ASL images to 28 slices DWI images, Attached is the images I got. After the registration, the orientation is different. <https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mri_robust_register> Does anyone as suggestion? Frank Yu

Spmregister issues
by Albrecht, Daniel S. 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

Hello, I've been using spmregister in order to coregister a static PET image to an MPRAGE, typically with good results. A representative run is as follows: spmregister --mov $file.nii --s $subj --reg SUV_lin_T1.dat --fsvol orig We then convert *.dat to *.mat with tkregister2, and apply the *.mat to the PET with FLIRT. However, the registration was unsatisfactory for a recent subject. While working through a couple different coregistration options, I tried running coregister (estimate and reslice) in SPM. The result from this was quite good. I was confused why this would give a different result from spmregister when I'm not changing any of the default parameters in SPM. Any ideas on why running a coregistration directly through SPM would give a different result? And as a secondary follow-up, are there any tools available to convert an SPM transformation matrix (e.g. x from x=spm_coreg) to a *.mat that can be used in FSL FLIRT? Thanks, Daniel S.

Can't Load More Than Four Unique Overlays on TKSurfer From Command Line
by Taylor, Johnmark 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

Hello, I am trying to load five overlays on TKSurfer from the command line (actual command attached). The problem is this: if I try to load five different overlays, the fifth one will show up on Freesurfer as being identical to the first one (for instance, in this example, the "all-slope" overlay will appear visually identical to the "fs-slope" overlay, even though I've verified that the files are different). Furthermore, if you try to load six, then the fifth overlay will look the same as the first, the sixth will look the same as the second, and so forth. If I manually add the overlays from the menu in tksurfer this doesn't happen, but I'd prefer not to have to do this. Any idea what could be going on? Apologies that the command is a mess to read: in case it isn't clear, I am calling the overlay flag five separate times, once for each desired overlay.
