Advice on using your LME software
by hussain fatakdawala 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Hi, I am a Ph.D student at UC Davis in Laura Marcu's Lab. We are imaging ex-vivo human coronary arteries using two simultaneous imaging techniques (fluorescence and ultrasound). For each image we extract 58 parameters from regions of interest that have been identified with a known disease condition from pathology. Each coronary sample can have multiple disease conditions. This is because we have multiple image slices along the length of the coronary and each slice may present different disease conditions. As of now, we have 14 disease conditions. We want to be able to statistically determine how well the different 58 parameters distinguish between different disease conditions. We do not know if the data distribution is normal and if the parameters are independent of one another. We were advised by a statistician to use mixed effects anova and directed us to your work as our data is longitudinal (using space instead of time). Can you please guide us on how we can use your software for our analysis since your software seems to be tailored for neuro-imaging data. Thanks much.

Motion Correction Options
by Fotiadis, Panagiotis 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Hi, I had two questions concerning motion correction: 1) Besides the motion correction pipeline followed in the recon-all process, is there any other motion correction pipeline that is available for use? 2) If I have only one scan is there a way to apply motion correction on it? Because from what I've understood you need two or more images in order to do the motion correction on (at least by following the same commands that are used for the motion correction in the recon-all pipeline) Thank you for your time. Best, Panos

reg.dat for ICBM152 to MNI305 (fsaverage)
by Adam Martersteck 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Hi Freesurfer experts, Question related to transforming volumes/masks in ICBM-152 space to MNI-305 space for use with fsaverage. 1. What is the proper registration file while utilizing mri_vol2vol? A. The registration file {$FREESURFER_HOME}/subjects/fsaverage/mri/transforms/reg.mni152.2mm.dat >>Same file as {$FREESURFER_HOME}/average/mni152.register.dat OR B. The different registration file {$FREESURFER_HOME}/subjects/fsaverage/mri.2mm/reg.2mm.mni152.dat 2. Are VOI-masks that are ALREADY in SPM2/FSL’s MNI-305 space (i.e. 2mm^3, 90x108x90) resliced to 256^3 -- usable with fsaverage without any further alteration? >> If not: Different linear transform from MNI-305 to ‘fsaverage MNI-305’? Thanks! Adam Martersteck Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine 320 E. Superior Street, Searle 11 Chicago, IL 60611

convert DK atlas ROI to .nii.gz in MNI space
by Yang, Daniel 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Dear FreeSurfer Experts, I am interested in a specific ROI in the DK atlas, and I know that I can use tkregister2 to obtain a register.dat, and then mri_annotation2label + mri_label2vol to convert the annotation of the ROI to an .nii.gz. However, it seems that the end product is in the TAL space? If yes, how can I convert it to the MNI 152 space? Many thanks!!

Re: [Freesurfer] Loading thickness data in python
by Sebastian Urchs 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hi Satra, thank you very much - this has been tremendously helpful. I have now identfied neighbouring verteces within a certain distance using networkx and all_pairs_dijkstra_path_length. I would now like to create my own curvature overlay (similar to the thickness file) by assigning non-zero values to neighboring verteces to a selected vertex and zero to others. My question is: is there any way I can save a numpy array to a "morphometric" file using nibabel or a different package?

beta weights from FS-Fast analysis
by Joseph Dien 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

I need to extract the beta weights from a cluster identified with FS-Fast in order to compute percentage signal change. 1) I see a file called beta.nii.gz that appears to have the beta weight information. It has a four dimensional structure and the fourth dimension appears to be the beta weights. Is there an index somewhere as to which beta weight is which? Or if not, how are they organized? 2) In order to extract the cluster, it looks like I would use mri_label2vol to convert cache.th20.neg.sig.ocn.annot into a volume where the voxels are tagged with the number of the corresponding cluster. I could then use that to generate masks to extract the information I need for each cluster from beta.nii.gz. Is that correct? 3) The final information that I would need is the canonical hrf shape generated by FSFAST for a single event. I guess I could generate that by setting up a dummy analysis run with a single event of the desired duration and then look in the X variable in the resulting X.mat file? Sorry for all the questions!

Freesurfer installation
by pablo najt 17 Jul '13

Dear Freesurfer experts, I have a question regarding the installation/running of FreeSurfer. I have been trying to install freesurfer in a macbook pro (snow leopard) but no success. I followed the webpage from freesurfer (link below). https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/PersonalLaptopSetup But after the installations when I open the terminal nothing happens. I also tried to launch freesurfer this way: export FREESURFER_HOME=/Applications/freesurfer source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh If I do this I get: command not found command not found command not found Any advice on how to finally set up the software would be great help. Thank you in anticipation.Pablo

Re: [Freesurfer] Button Press Regressor
by Douglas N Greve 17 Jul '13

It looks like it is the 1st regressor. Although there appears to be a period of time where this is no button press. If the button press is the only event, then it is definitely the 1st regressor.
