recon-all change for lgi affects NuCorrect
by Kathy L. Pearson 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

When I follow the advice to prevent lgi problems with MATLAB 2013 using this update to 5.3 recon-all: For Version 5.3 change the line 6148 in recon-all from if ( ! $found_tpNid ) then to if ( ! $found_tpNid && ! $DoAddTp ) then 11 new subjects that I tested running from scratch fail in NuCorrect. When reverting to the original recon-all, the same subjects all ran to completion without error. Any suggestions on this? I am running on Redhat Linux 6.3 with MATLAB 2013a. Thanks, Kathy Pearson

Tool which will return the labels associated with a RAS vector ?
by Krieger, Donald N. 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

Hi, I am almost there and now need to produce what you might call an atlas for an individual. I have a large set of current source locations extracted from MEG recordings for each volunteer. They are in the individual's RAS MRI coordinates so I can easily convert them to tkr or another of the coordinate systems used by freesurfer. I then need to find or create a tool to which I can hand that vector and get back the labels which have been assigned to it. Can you see a way to do it with existing freesurfer tools, even if it's awkward? Thanks, Don

mpr2mni305 failed error
by Francesco Deleo 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

I all! I am a new freesurfer user. I have a problem when I perform the recon-all -all, in about 15% of MRI scans, all made with the same scanning protocol (T1 MPRAGE in a SIEMENS Avanto 1,5 T). I can't recognize any difference between those scans which work correctly and those not. I have never found the same error on 3T MRI scans. I've already tried to add these flags to the recon-all -all command: -use-mritotal -talairach -use-mritotal -notalairach but I've always received an error message Thank you very much ERROR: mpr2mni305 failed, see transforms/talairach_avi.log Darwin pro-di-villani.besta.local 13.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.3.0: Tue Jun 3 21:27:35 PDT 2014; root:xnu-2422.110.17~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 Thanks very much for your attention Francesco Milan, Italy --------------------------------------------------------------------- FREESURFER_HOME: /Applications/freesurfer Build stamp: freesurfer-Darwin-lion-stable-pub-v5.3.0 Kernel info: Darwin 13.3.0 x86_64 --------------------------------------------------------------------- LAST LINES IN TALAIRACH_AVI.LOG parameters 9.0270 134.9373 110.8627 -84.3566 -7.5458 -11.3475 eta,q 0.95791 3.72402 0.0485 0.0470 0.0477 0.0513 0.0470 0.0452 0.0475 0.0471 0.0478 0.0513 0.0457 0.0435 0.0472 0.0472 0.0476 0.0428 0.0434 0.0415 0.0471 0.0471 0.0476 0.0435 0.0430 0.0415 0.0470 0.0478 0.0457 0.0525 0.0415 0.0430 0.0473 0.0511 0.0430 0.0548 0.0442 0.0453 0.0486 0.0426 0.0406 0.0672 0.0431 0.0503 niter,ni,del,rscale 7 3 12.0000 1.2000 imgrege: no voxels in register ERROR: 'imgreg_4dfp /Applications/freesurfer/average/711-2C_as_mni_average_305 /Applications/freesurfer/average/711-2B_as_mni_average_305_mask talsrcimg_g11 none talsrcimg_to_711-2C_as_mni_average_305_t4 1283' failed! status=254 ERROR: mpr2mni305 execution aborted

Compatibility Tracula v.5.3 and recon v.5.2 longitudinal
by Chung, Yoonho 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

Dear Freesurfer Experts We decided to reprocess our T1 and DTI data with the latest stream v.5.3 – we would like to give TRACULA longitudinal stream a try. Before we go ahead and reprocess our recons and DTI data with FS v 5.3 we were wondering if you plan to release a new version of the TRACULA DTI longitudinal stream anytime soon. I think I saw somewhere in the email chain that this is likely to happen soon with additional features and bug fixes. If so, I think it would be worth a wait. Thank you! Yoon

Solution to the issue with QDEC being unable to find subjects in the subjects directory with the following fix: sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.orig sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh Thanks, Kate ________________________________________ From: freesurfer-bounces(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu [freesurfer-bounces(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu] on behalf of McLaughlin, Katie [Katie.McLaughlin(a)childrens.harvard.edu] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2014 5:45 PM To: Freesurfer support list Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] GLM error in QDEC Hi Doug, Same error when data table created in Linux There are a number of messages about this same issue in the Archive (e.g.): https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2013-September/03347… https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail/freesurfer/2008-October/008618.h… https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2014-February/036226… In the second message string, there is some information about bash vs sh in ubuntu potentially generating this error.

QdecGlmDesign::Create: zero factors!
by McLaughlin, Katie 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Hi Doug et al, After solving one issue with QDEC we have run into another. I previously posted an error related to QDEC being unable to find subjects in the subjects directory. That problem was solved by updating the /bin/sh location for ubuntu (will post the solution that worked for us to the archive). The data table now loads fine, it finds all the discrete and continuous factors. However, I am still getting the following error about the GLM Design creating zero factors. See below. I can't find any info about this error in the archive. Any thoughts are much appreciated! Data table attached. Thanks, Kate Loading data table /neuro/labs/sheridanlab/projects/SAS/FreeSurfer/FS_5.3/qdec/qdec.table.maltreatment.dat...

Post-doctoral position in cognitive neurophysiology/epilepsy
by Pierre Mégevand 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

The Laboratory for Multimodal Human Brain Mapping, at New York’s Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral fellow with interests in epilepsy, cognitive neuroscience, and functional connectivity. The lab uses human intracranial EEG, direct electrical stimulation of the brain, and functional MRI to study: (1) neural mechanisms of cognitive abilities such as attention, visual processing, and language; (2) extent and dynamics of macroscale functional networks in the human brain; (3) how to improve the identification of functional and pathological brain regions in individuals suffering from epilepsy. The fellow will be involved in all aspects of experimental design, data collection and analysis, and publication of research. In addition, they will have extensive opportunities for work with colleagues in collaborating groups, including researchers at Columbia University, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Child Mind Institute, and Nathan Kline Institute (all in New York), and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. Candidates should have a background in at least one of the major techniques used in the lab: neurophysiology (EEG/MEG), neuroimaging (structural and functional MRI), or brain stimulation (direct electrical stimulation, TMS, tDCS/ACS). Additional experience in another of these techniques would be a plus. Strong programming skills (especially in the MATLAB environment) are required. Candidates with Ph.D. and/or M.D. degrees are welcome to apply. For more information about the lab, please visit: http://www.feinsteininstitute.org/faculty/ashesh-mehta-md-phd/ Interested candidates should submit CV and brief statement of interest to Dr. Ashesh Mehta at amehta(a)nshs.edu.

extending the pial line in scans with low signal
by Christine Smith 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Hello, I am working with some scans that have poor signal, particularly at the lateral aspects of the cortex (i.e., lateral temporal lobes). The measures of the cortical volumes for each of the lobes of the brain are reduced by 2-4 standard deviations in these healthy subjects compared to scans collected from healthy subjects at a different scanner. The measures of white matter for the lobes appears to be ok. To show you the problem, I have attached two pictures. The first is of the surfaces as they come out of freesurfer (reference.jpg). The second is the same slice if you increase the brightness of the image to highlight that the signal is so low in some cortex (e.g., lateral temporal lobes) that it appears 'black' and absent with the default brightness/contrast settings in tkmedit. This missing cortex is visible at high brightness and low contrast (reference_lowcontrasthighbright.jpg). We have been using several commands that have an effect on the pial line based on an earlier request for help. recon-all -seg-ghi ## -autorecon2 -autorecon3 -s SUBJECT_ID OR recon-all -seg-wlo ## -autorecon2 -autorecon3 -s SUBJECT_ID seg-ghi: maximum for gm at border with wm seg-wlo: minimum for wm at border with gm We found that a ghi value of 60 captures all the grey matter that we were missing (see ghi60.jpg). However, for the superior part of the scans (i.e., above the temporal lobes), it also extends out the white matter such that sulci are missing or too shallow. This means that the grey matter is also very thin. Combining seg-ghi and seg-wlo commands in the same call was not the solution: recon-all -seg-ghi 60 -seg-wlo 60 -autorecon2 -autorecon3 -s SubjectID The resultant image had the same problems with the white matter. I have examples of the scans after seg-ghi 60 alone, seg-wlo 60 alone, and both commands together, if these would be useful. We have experimented with changing the values after each these commands and had had little success identifying how they talk to each other and what the magic combination of values might be, if it exists. If these weren't scans from patients who were very difficult to scan in the first place, I would love to just forget about them. However, these scans are precious to us and may not be able to be reacquired. Thus, I am employing heroic efforts to salvage usable data from them. I am open to a solution that might come from two separate runs of freesurfer: one to get the white matter boundary (as it appears in the reference scan attached) and one to get the pial boundary (as it appears after using seg-ghi 60 alone); if this is a reasonable course of action.

Thank you for the help Bruce. I really appreciate it! So if we have a custom made label to we need to somehow add it to the FreeSurferColorLUT.txt. mris_convert --label lh.cluster1.label lh.white lh.cluster1.label.gii The above is not working for me. I keep getting no errors or anything, just the usage in the terminal. Thanks again!
