Surface segmentation for resting state
by ERIK JAHNER 09 Jul '16

09 Jul '16

Dear free surfer experts, I am conducting a resting state fMRI study using a lagged analysis method. To do this method on a volume, I have used 6 mm cubes as rois covering the whole brain but masked for grey matter. I use these values in a correlation map. I would like to do a similar approach here. Is there a way to get measurements ~6mm apart averaging the vertices 3 mm away. basically, I would like to parcel the cortex surface map into 6mm rois evenly distributed over the surface of the cortex. I would like to take advantage of the fact that I can take measurements along surfaces and not across sulci. Is there an automated way or easy way of building this ROI map. Erik Jahner

We are trying to run a longitudinal morphometry analysis with a control group and clinical group scanned twice. We'd like to look at group x time interactions and would like help figuring out the best way to do so. As the time variable we use centered age -- the deviation from the mean age across all subjects and timepoints. To do so, we use the following lme model: intercept + centeredage.controls + centeredage.clinical + group(0,1) + sex(0,1) Contrast vector: [0 1 -1 0 0] where the centeredage column contains only the centered age for that group and zeros for the opposite group. The thinking behind this is to investigate which cortical regions show opposite effects of time between the groups. However, the FreeSurfer lme software requests a specified "time column". Obviously, we cannot add a centered age for all subjects, nor does it seem to make sense to use one of the two group-specific centeredage columns as the time column. Our alternative model for investigating interatction is: intercept + centeredage + group(0,1) + sex(0,1) + groupxcenteredage where centeredage is the time columns and is a common regressor for both groups and thus, groupxcenteredage becomes 0 for control subjects. Contrast vector: [0 0 0 0 1] This would test whether there is an added effect of centered age in the clinical group. Is there a better way to do an group x time interaction analysis here, or is there a solution for the time column? Thanks!

what do you mean nothing happens? After you hit the return key, it should either give you the path to the command or it should say Command not found. doug ps.

Segmentation of hippocampal subfields with current dev version
by Eric A Nelson 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Hello, I am trying to use the hippocampal subfield segmentation presented in the Iglesias paper. I downloaded and installed the latest available dev version about a week ago, along with FSL and the Matlab 2012b runtime. I attempted to run the pipeline and the hippocampal subfield segmentation together. The primary pipeline ran successfully as indicated by the log as well as manually checking the output in freeview. The hippocampal subfield segmentation did not complete successfully and the subsequent output files are nowhere to be found. I checked the archive and saw that someone had a similar issue back in October. Based on the archive I have done the following trouble shooting steps: 1) I made sure that /Applications/freesurfer/MCRv80/bin/maci64/libmwi18n.dylib does exist. 2) I also tried unsetting the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH as followed: In bash: unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH In (t)csh: unsetenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH Then I reran the hippocampal segmentation as follows: recon-all -s [subject] -hippocampal-subfields-T1 Still no success and not sure what else I can do. I am including both the recon-all.log and hippocoampal-subfields-T1.log. Best, Eric Nelson Neuroimaging and Translational Research Lab UAB

Refining subcortical structures

Hi, I want to refine the surface of my segmented subcortical structures such as thalamus. I know -fix is used for refining the cortex surface, but is there any function that refines the subcortical structures? Thank you Dorsa

Fwd: Recon-all exited with errors after mri_nu_correct.mni
by Emeline MULLIER 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Hello FreeSurfer Developers, I have just tried to install FreeSurfer on a new machine and I met a problem with recon-all command. I have tried the tutorial command : recon-all -s bert -all And I have the error message : recon-all -s bert exited with ERRORS. My machine is on Ubuntu 16.04. I installed : freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.3.0 I attached my recon-all.log. $FREESURFER_HOME /usr/local/freesurfer I saw a similar problem with virtualbox shared folder but it is not my case here. Do you have an idea of the problem ? Thank you, __ Emeline MULLIER PhD Candidate Department of Radiology Center hospitalier universitaire vaudois (CHUV) and Université de Lausanne (UNIL) Rue du Bugnon 46, CH-1011

Mri_glmfit-sim hemisphere correction
by Arkadiy Maksimovskiy 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if someone might know whether it is necessary to use the flag "2spaces" on both the left and the right hemisphere? If I am understanding correctly, this flag corrects for a specific multiple comparison of two hemispheres. Thus, it seems like it would only be necessary to only use it once, because if used on each hemisphere, we would be "penalizing" our results more than necessary- thus being too conservative. If we already correct for using two hemispheres once, then why correct a second time? If it is only necessary to use it on only one of the hemispheres, would this run the risk of unfairly biasing our results (i.e. more conservative on one hemisphere and more liberal on another)? Thank you for your help in clarifying this, - Arkadiy
