Qdec Generate Stats Data Table Error
by Limachia, Gaurang (NIH/NINDS) [F] 10 Aug '16

10 Aug '16

Hello All, My table.dat file loaded fine. However, I came across the following error when I was running the Qdec generate stats data table. If you can let me know what I can do to fix the following error I would greatly appreciate it. Uncaught exception: command failed: asegstats2table --common-segs --meas volume --tablefile /local/limachiagv/freesurfer/subjects/qdec/stats_tables/aseg.volume.stats.dat --statsfile=aseg.stats --subjects CON_201 CON_202 CON_203 CON_204 CON_205 CON_206 CON_207 CON_209 CON_211 CON_212 CON_213 CON_214 CON_215 CON_216 CON_217 CON_218 CON_219 CON_220 CON_221 CON_222 CON_223 CON_225 CON_226 CON_227 CON_228 CON_230 CON_231 CON_232 CON_233 CON_234 CON_235 CON_236 CON_237 CON_239 CON_240 CON_241 CON_242 CON_244 CON_245 CON_246 CON_247 CON_248 CON_249 CON_250 CON_251 CON_252 CON_253 CON_254 CON_255 CON_256 CON_257 CON_258 CON_259 CON_260 PAT_402 PAT_403 PAT_407 PAT_409 PAT_410 PAT_411 PAT_412 PAT_413 PAT_414 PAT_415 PAT_416 PAT_417 PAT_418 PAT_419 PAT_421 PAT_422 PAT_424 PAT_425 PAT_426 PAT_427 PAT_428 PAT_429 PAT_430 PAT_431 PAT_432 PAT_433 PAT_437 PAT_439 PAT_440 SUBJECTS_DIR : /local/limachiagv/freesurfer/subjects Parsing the .stats files ERROR: The stats file /local/limachiagv/freesurfer/subjects/CON_201/stats/aseg.stats is not found or is too small to be a valid statsfile Use --skip flag to automatically skip bad stats files Thanks, Gaurang

Inquiries about QDEC inflated surface
by Mahtab Farahbakhsh 10 Aug '16

10 Aug '16

Dear FreeSurfer, I am comparing two groups of my subjects together in qdec and when I want to visualize each subject, I can see two different regions for inferior parietal lobe and supramarginal gyrus. But in the normal pial surface, it seems like that the labels of both overlap with each other. I'm not sure how these two are different. Any guidance would be extremely appreciated. Best Regards, Mahtab.

To clarify, two diagnosis groups Psychotic Patients and Non-Psychotic Patients. Some of the patients are on lithium and some are not. Is that right? If so, then you have a two factor design where each factor has two levels, so you can do this analysis in QDEC. > > Thank You, > > Regards, > Vikas Bandalli Raju > > On Fri, Aug 5, 2016 at 9:28 PM, Douglas N Greve > <greve(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu <mailto:greve@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu>> wrote: > > > 1.

aseg.stats data output
by shi yao wang 10 Aug '16

10 Aug '16

Dear FS experts: How can I only out put the volume value in the aseg.stats file? I applied following command: but it will produce a table with lots of values such as brainsegvol, brainsegvolnotvent, which I donot want to use. thanks asegstats2table --subjects 004 021 040 067 080 092 \ --segno 11 17 18 \ --tablefile aseg.vol.table

resample structural ROI in functional space?
by Kami Koldewyn 10 Aug '16

Hi All, I have a set of ROIs that were created in structural space, currently saved as volume masks. I would like to transform these into functional space, re-sampled to the functional resolution.

Registration of low-resolution EPI time series to CVS MNI (avoiding resampling)
by Heidi Grohn 10 Aug '16

10 Aug '16

Hi Freesurfer (FS) users, I am a new user in the world of FS and I am trying to normalize rsfMRI EPI series to CVS MNI space. I would like to do it without resampling the EPI images to 1*1*1mm3 resolution. I've registered EPI series to FS T1 space by using following command (after bbregister), with --no-resample flag, after which the resolution of the EPI images did not change. mri_vol2vol --mov EPI.nii.gz --targ ...subject/mri/wmparc.mgz --interp trilinear --o EPI_in_FS_T1_space.mgz --reg EPI_in_FS_T1_space.dat --no-resample --no-save-reg After that I used the following command to apply normalization to CVS MNI, but I cannot find any similar option to maintain the low resolution. Output is always on 1*1*1mm3 resolution. applyMorph --template ../cvs_avg35_inMNI152/mri/norm.mgz --transform ..subject/cvs_mni/combined_tocvs_avg35_inMNI152_elreg_afteraseg-norm.tm3d \vol EPI_in_FS_T1_space.mgz EPI_in_MNI.mgz trilinear In summary, how would I maintain the resolution of the EPI images after normalization? By the way, I am using Freesurfer 5.3. Your help is very much appreciated, Thanks, Heidi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Heidi Gröhn, PhD CMRR University of Minnesota %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

mri_glmfit-sim problem
by miracle ozzoude 10 Aug '16

10 Aug '16

Hello FreeSurfer experts, I am running surfaced based analysis using ROI approach. My mris_preproc, mri_surf2surf and mri_glmfit worked as expected. Since i restricted the region i built my own monte carlo "mri_mcsim --o roianalysis/average/mult-comp-cor/fsaverage/rh/rightmaskforcomp --base mc-z --surface fsaverage rh --nreps 10000 --label 2mask" which worked. However, when I wanted to run the mri_glmfit-sim using this command line " mri-glmfit-sim --glmdir rh.score.glmdir --cache-dir roianalysis/average/mult-comp-cor --cache-label rightmaskforcomp --cache 2 pos --cwpvalthresh 0.05 --2spaces" i got an error "setenv SUBJECTS_DIR users/paul/desktop/roianalysis FREESURFER_HOME/ applications/freesurfer original mri_glmfit command line ............ DoSim = 0 UseCache = 1 dopoll = 1 DoPBSubmit = 0 DoBackground = 0 DiagCluster = 0 gd2mtx = dods fwhm = 17.292581 ERROR: cannot find roianalysis/average/mult-comp-cor/fsaverage/rh/rightmaskforcomp/fwhm17/pos/th20/mc.z.csd" I looked into roianalysis/........./fwhm17/pos/th20/mc.z.csd and it does exist. I saw a post like this on the forum but it wasn't answered. How can I direct it to my simulation on my subjectfolder (i.e., desktop/roianalysis/......)? Thanks Paul
