freesurfer on windows thru ssh
by Gifford, Sheyna 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

Dear Freesurfer Community, Freesurfer is running well on Mac OSX and BSD, but one of my users wants to run it on Windows thru ssh. This is the error that is generated when she tries. >GLUT: Fatal Error in tkmedit: OpenGL GLX extension not supported by >display: localhost:14. I am not at all a windows person. I can only imagine that this has to do with lack of OpenGL support on WindowsXP. Has anyone out there in the community successfully been able to run freesurfer on Windows, thru eXceed or any other method? Many thanks for any advice.

SPM conversion to FreeSurfer-style reg matrix
by jswonder 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

Hello all, I am looking for a way to convert an SPM .mat to a FreeSurfer registration matrix (register.dat); basically, something like the old spmmat2register command, but not obsolete...any suggestions? Thanks!

group analysis error
by adam walczak 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

Hello, While running group analysis (mri_glmfit step), on an admittedly tiny subject group (3). I used two classes (male/female) and age. I received the following error: ERROR: DOF = 0 I am wondering if three subjects is too small a data set for this to run or if I am just doing something wrong. It got through the other preprocessing steps, but got stuck here. My contrast vector is [0 0 1] like the tutorial. Thanks for any help.

converting .img to .mgz
by Chacko Cherian 08 Jun '06

08 Jun '06

Hi everybody, I ve got a small question on converting .img scans(Analyze) TO .mgz... suppose i have a raw.img(and raw.hdr) file and I want to use recon-all for converting this to .mgz do I just need to do recon-all -i raw.img -s <subject_name> Or is there any other way I can directly use .img files instead of converting to the native .mgz format...? Thanks a lot,in advance Chacko. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Any help is appreciated. Thanks Regards, Vish

FS on Fedora Core 5, GLXBadLargeRequest
by Glenn Lawyer 08 Jun '06

08 Jun '06

Hi, Around the 25th of April there was a brief discussion regarding running FreeSurfer on a FC5 machine. Some users were having a problem with tksurfer not displaying and an error with the X server (GLXBadLargeRequest). I just installed the centos _x64 3.0.3 verson of FreeSurfer on a FC5 machine, nvidia graphics card, and experienced the same error. However, Nick mentioned that a FC5 build of FreeSurfer is available at ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist named freesurfer-Linux-fc5-x86_64-dev20060426.tar.gz I installed this build on my machine, and this version of tksurfer displays properly (at least a first test, fsaverage + curvature + aparc.anot + wireframe) Nick went on to say "This is a 'dev' version, meaning its built from a codebase that is slightly ahead of date with the stable version, but none-the-less should behave identically to stable. This FC5 build won't be updated on a regular basis, since it is not one of our standard platforms (it was built offsite)." Just for kicks, I linked the FC5 tksurfer into my freesurfer_centos bin, and that also seems to work. Thus I can use the centos_3.0.3 version of everything except tksurfer, for which I use the FC5 version [root@localhost local]# cd freesurfer_centos_3.0.3/bin/ [root@localhost bin]# mv tksurfer tksurferorig [root@localhost bin]# ln -s ../../freesurfer_fc5_3/bin/tksurfer . -- -------------------------------------- I'm only in it for the glory. > Glenn Lawyer < > +352 061 967 244 < > Instituttgruppe for psykiatri < > Postboks 1130 Blindern < > 0318 Oslo < < http://folk.uio.no/davidgl > <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><:)

tksurfer hemodynamic waveforms for group analysis
by raij＠nmr.mgh.harvard.edu 08 Jun '06

08 Jun '06

Dear Fellow Freesurfers, I am trying to display HDR waveforms (time courses) for group level FIR analyses in tksurfer. When opening the group analysis data with tkmedit and a functional overlay, obviously some sort of time course data is loaded, because I can scroll back and forth between the different time points/frames of the functional overlay (for the specific contrast that I loaded). However the load timecourse function does not seem to be working. When attempting to load a hemodynamic waveform, I receive either an error (func_load_timecourse: error in FunD_New) without opening the HDR window, or then the time course volume is "interpreted as encoded scalar volume" and only one time point, of only one contrast, is shown in the HDR window. I have tried downloading all possible and impossible files related to the group analysis (.hdr/.bhdr/.bfloat/.dat/.mat/.w) from both within the specific contrast directory or the one higher level, but they all fail in either of the two ways above. The wiki, in this case, was not very helpful in trying to discover which file to load: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial_2fVisualization https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial_2fVisualization Is this function currently functional? If so, which file should I load? Details: group brain = fsaverage STUDY_DIR = /space/cognito/21/users/raij/avml_fmri_mctogether/ SUBJECTS_DIR = /space/cognito/5/users/raij/subjects_mri/ environment = nmr-std-env on machine ai (FreeSurfer vs >3) group analysis name = fegroup, analysis = ISI1TR_BERT_ERFIRsm5pf5tpefsub example contrast: AV-REST Thanks for your help!

GLM model
by Antao Du 07 Jun '06

07 Jun '06

I want to test the difference of cortical thickness in two groups and age is accounted for as a covariate. Should I use "different offset, same slope" or "different offset, different slope" in GLM model? Thanks, Antao

func2sph-sess target brain setting
by raij＠nmr.mgh.harvard.edu 07 Jun '06

07 Jun '06

Hi, Backround: I am running a fixed effects group analysis with fsaverage (mne305) as the target brain, and merging the activations across subjects on the spherical surface. The individual functional sessions have been co-registered to the individuals' structural brain reconstruction (i.e. the register.dat file inside the bold directory links the functional and structural data within subjects only). Problem: I am not sure how to set the group analysis func2sph-sess and paint-sess "target brain" parameters correctly. Version and environment: I am using the current Martinos Center FreeSurfer standard installation (vs. >3) under nmr-std-env and all the structural reconstructions are new as well. Outline of the analysis (list of commands): preprocessing mkanalysis-sess.new selxavg-sess mkcontrast-sess stxgrinder-sess func2sph-sess <- sphsmooth-sess isxavg-fe-sess stxgrinder-sess paint-sess <- Specific question (with possible answers): *** 1 *** Should I set the target brain already at func2sph-sess: func2sph-sess -analysis XXX -sf sessid -df sesspar -trgsubject fsaverage (if the -trgsubject setting is omitted, then the target appears be the default = ico order 7) *** 2 *** Or is it sufficient (if I ignore the -trgsubject parameter above) to set: paint-sess -analysis XXX -contrast YYY -subject fsaverage -space sph -isxavg fixed -s fegroup -df group.sesspar (here fegroup = the folder where the fixed effects analysis is stored, set at isxavg-fe-sess -s fegroup) *** 3 *** Or must/should I do both 1 and 2 of the above. I am using surf-sess/tksurfer to view the results and set -subject fsaverage even there. I get results that look reasonable either way. I just wonder what is the difference between the methods, and if either method is unambiguously correct. Thanks, Tommi --- Tommi Raij, M.D., Ph.D. MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A.
