optseq psdwin
by Linh Dang 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Hi, I have 2 questions. 1) How do I calculate psd min, max, and dpsd. Is there a formula for calculating these values? I have 4 kinds of stimuli, stim duration = 3s, stim repetition = 25, TR =2 so: optseq2 --ntp 180 --tr 2 --psdwin [?] --ev A 3 25 --ev B 3 25 --ev C 3 25 --ev D 3 25 --o 4types --tsearch 10 --nkeep 4 What should my psd min, max, and dpsd be? 2) My task is history-dependent. I would like to control the probabilities that stimulus B follows A, C follows A, A follows D... Is there a way for me to do that with optseq? Thank you so much for your help. Cheers, Linh

Re: [Freesurfer] convert multiple Analyze to single 4D nifti

I'm not sure. When I just tried it, it converted to .nii.gz. Maybe it has to do with the version of fsl being used? I'm posting this to the freesurfer listserv to see if anyone else has ideas.

deflate compression support
by lan lin 24 Oct '08

I'm trying to make a monkey template using mris_make_template. So far, every time I run the mris_make_template, I get this error: monkey.tif: Deflate compression support is not configured. TiffWrite: TIFFWriteScanline returned error

subcortical masks
by Martin Ystad 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Hi, I'd like to create binary masks in the nifti-format from each of the subcortical segmentations in freesurfer, separately (one for hippocampus, one for thalamus, and so forth..). Is there any way to do this automatically from the command line? Thanks, Martin Ystad Ph.D. candidate, University of Bergen

Bug with aparcstats2table on aparc.a2005s parcellation - addendum
by Laluz, Victor 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

The body of my email was lost because of the attachments: here it is again for those who are curious. Sorry about that, I didn't know a text file attachment would do that. Not sure if this bug has been mentioned before, but there is a bug with using aparcstats2table for the aparc.a2005s parcellation map. If some of the subjects in the group have missing values of a certain type, aparcstats2table fails to designate a 0 for them. So for instance, it's often the case that a subject has no lh_unknown_volume in their aparc.a2005s.stats. Certain other, seemingly random areas will fail to print out as well. This will lead to shifts in the dataset, so that every volume after the missing value for a subject will be incorrect, and will need to be shifted for the blank. The only way I have found to reliably check that the data is valid is to generate seperate stats tables for each subject. Anyway, this is a serious problem for people who collect and analyse data with aparcstats2table using the aparc.a2005s parcellation map. Attached are two examples illustrating the problem. To make it clearer, paste the contents of both into excel, and look at the column mismatch; some of the subjects' data don't make it all the way to the end, and a shift in the values is clear.

convert multiple Analyze to single 4D nifti
by Xu Cui 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Does anybody know how to convert a series of Analyze files into a single nii file? Each analyze file is a single 3D volume at a time point; the nii file would be 4d. Thanks, Xu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Xu Cui Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Stanford University ----------------------------------------------------------------

creating "intermediate" surfaces
by Rudolph Pienaar 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hi all - Is there a way to create "intermediate" surfaces in FreeSurfer? By intermediate I mean "some fraction" between gray/white and pial.

FreeSurferColorLUT & aparc
by Juranek, Jenifer 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hi, Running fsv405 on RHEL5. I've encountered some unexpected numerical values wrt FreeSurferColorLUT.txt. Are my expectations off? 1) In the aparc+aseg.mgz file, intensity values for the cortical labels range from -32768 to 654, with negative values falling in some regions in the left hemisphere. 2) Identical results are obtained if mri_aparc2aseg is used to generate an output file: mri_aparc2aseg --s mysubject --o ./aparc2aseg.mgz 3) Values of aseg.mgz map perfectly well to FreeSurferColorLUT.txt Example values obtained from aparc+aseg.mgz are listed below: lh.superiortemporal=484 (expecting 1030 from FreeSurferColorLUT.txt) rh.superiortemporal=32767 (expecting 2030) Although these numerical values do not match the LUT, they are consistent across subjects. Many Thanks for any insights... Jenifer
