FMRI group analysis in common surface space
by Georg Homola 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Hi all, We want to perform a FMRI group analysis in common surface space. For that purpose, can we (1) run feat2surf on both cope and varcopes on first-level feat analysis (2) run higher-level feat on the output (using the transformed copes/varcopes as the inputs)? Thanks, Georg

Voxel size smaller than 1x1x1mm?
by Falk Lüsebrink 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Hi Freesurfers, I'm currently doing my bachelors thesis in medical engineering and I'm trying to measure the cortical thickness of scans acquired by a 7T MRT. A colleague of mine has used Freesurfer (v4.0.5) before and mentioned that high resolution scans with a voxel size smaller than 1x1x1mm (like .7x.7x.7mm) are converted to 1x1x1mm during a processing stage of autorecon - I think during the mri_convert process. Is it possible to keep the native size or does Freesurfer need to change the voxel size to 1mm in order to do the segmentation correctly? Regards, Falk

ROI label Error
by Barnali Basu 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

HI I have an ROI from BrainVoyager (text file, attached) which I am trying to load in Freesurfer. I have edited the text file according to Freesurfer label format, still it shows error as ERROR: cannot find or read t.roi.label the Freesurfer label file with first 100 voxel coordinates is also attached. Any help on how to load this label will be appreciated -- Barnali Basu

Qdec Outputs - Looking For Statistical Maps To Overlay In SurfStat
by Jennifer Bramen 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

Dear Freesurfer List I am trying to use SurfStat to create figures based on my qdec results. However, I cannot figure out what outputs form qdec are what, or what their iunits are. I cannot find a description of qdec's outputs on the Freesurfer Wiki. 1) I want to find the statistic overlay for my contrast of interest. Qdec creates a folder for each possible test I could make based on the design. For exasmple, I would like to overlay the results from the folder lh-Avg-thickness-TESSF-Cor. I think I want to use the gamma.mgh file as my overlay. Is that the true? I have some questions about the units of the gamma.mgh files though. When I use SurfStat, it automatically scales this at -0.2 - 0.2. I assumed this was the Anti- Long P scale used by qdec, so I tried to rescale my display to match the colorscale I use to display results in qdec. However, when I tried to change the scale to -3 - > 3, I get nothing. In qdec, I do see effects using this exact scale( min 1.3, max 3, min -1.3, max -3). So This suggests to me that the gamma.mgh is not in the same units (not anti-log(-p)). What are the units? 2) I was told that qdec saves a mean thickness file. I was also told it was one of the gamma.mgh files. Qdec creates a folder for each hemisphere called, for example, lh-Avg-Intercept-thickness. I assumed this was the correct overlay, but it looked to be demeaned as it had both negative a positive values. Is it demeaned? Is there a file that qdec saves that is just thickness? Or is there a way to manipulate the files so that they are not demeaned? Thank you for your assistance Best regards, Jennifer Bramen, Ph.D. Assistant Research Neuroscientist David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA Developmental Cognitive Neuroimaging 635 Charles Young Drive South Los Angeles, CA 90095-7332 Phone: (310)267-5116 Fax: (310)206-5518 Email: jbramen(a)mednet.ucla.edu Campus Mail Code 176919

partial volume correction in mri_segstats
by Anthony 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hi all, In recon-all pipeline , mri_segstats runs with -pv mri/norm.mgz option ,as written from http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mri_segstats , it is used to compensate partial voluming. I wonder what exactly does this do, as the volumes given by aseg.stats are different from aseg.mgz and why is it more accurate ? I will appreciate if anyone could help to clarify this .

performance: bert -autorecon1
by Stephen Towler 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hi all. Documentation estimates 30 minutes for -autorecon1 on the sample data provided with the most recent freesurfer release. Our 2008 iMac with 4GB of RAM takes about 90 minutes. Throughout the job CPU utilization was high but there was plenty of free RAM. Is 90 minutes common for similarly equipped leopard systems?

Dear all, I've come across a similar problem to the one described before in qdec, but cannot find a solution for it, I've previously visualised my data using qdec, but when I tried to run it again I get the following error.

wm edits
by Nasim Maleki 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Dear Freesurfers, I have a question on manual white matter edits: I have cases where a considerable amount of gray matter is classified as white in my wm.mgz and therefore the original surface (green) is not accurate but then that is fixed in the next steps and the wm surface (yellow) is accurate in 90% of the areas but not accurate in other 10% . Now my questions are: 1-Will I get accurate results if I do the edits (erasing misclassified white matter in wm.mgz) to my white matter mask only in those 10% areas that the wm surface is not accurate or should I correct the wm.mgz 'every where' no matter what? 2- Will you necessarily get more accurate results by editing your wm.mgz where pixels are classified as white by mistake BUT your final white matter surface is accurate? 3-How much on average takes you to do the manual white matter edits for each of your subjects?! Thank you, Nasim

Y axis values in time course in relation to percent signal change
by Dave Brohawn 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hello, I am not sure what y-axis values are in a time course plot. Here is my bugr information: FREESURFER_HOME: /usr/local/freesurfer/stable4 Build stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-v4.2.0d-20090227 RedHat release: CentOS release 5.2 (Final) Kernel info: Linux 2.6.18-92.el5 i686 NMR Center info (/space/freesurfer exists): machine: seymour SUBJECTS_DIR: /autofs/space/ventzl_016/users/ PWD: /autofs/space/ventzl_016/users I entered tksurfer fsaverage lh inflated When it came up, I loaded this time course data for a group of 8 subjects: /autofs/space/ventzl_016/users/CC-n8/newEMerror-tpx/lh.h.nii I then plugged in a vertex of interest (124608) and the time course plot came up. It is correct is showing the me the time course for 4 different contrasts included in this analysis, though I am not sure what the y-axis is. Its values are incremented by whole 1's (1 2 3). We are looking for percent signal change values. Can you tell me what these y-axis values are, and if there is a way to calculate percent signal change from them if I write these time course values to file? Thank you very much, Dave Brohawn
