regarding fsfast in event related mode
by Sebastian Moeller 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Hi All, after some time of doing block designs I am thinking about switvching to event-related paradigm desing. Now my question is does fsfast correct for the slice timing (usually we use interleaved acquisition of our epis to getz better signal to moise). While for my block designs (with block lengths integer multiples of the TR) this is almost irrelevant, it will be more interesting for my planned even related design, where I want to use sub TR time resolution (-TER should help with the analysis, no?). So is it feasible to analyze event related designs with sub TR event resolution with fsfast, and what swiotches should be used?

mkanalysis-sess.new bug
by Sebastian Moeller 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Aloha fellow surfers, the last dev versions (centos4_x86_64-dev20060224-full) has a slight buglet in fsfasts mkanalysis-sess.new. If line 195 is changed from: set ln = `grep TR $sifile`; to: set ln = `grep "TR " $sifile`; (note the embedded space), mkanalysis-sess.new will accept sequence names with, e. g. TR4 inside the string. Yeah, most likely this is a case of "don't do that then", but I have way to many sessions with offending sequence names to go rebame them...

jittered event related design
by Bosky Ravindranath 03 Mar '06

03 Mar '06

Hello List, We are designing a rapid event related paradigm, wherein a stimulus is presented for a duration of 300ms. We have been using optseq for generating sequences in the past, however , optseq requires that the event duration be a multiple of of TR or dPSD( sampling interval). In that case is it ok to create a design with a stimulus duration of 2 s ( which is our TR) and then split it into 300ms + 1700 ms, where the 1700 ms adds to the null period immediately following the stimulus? ( There is a null condition between each stimulus). Also, is it not important to start a new volume at the beginning of each stimulus? Any input is appreciated.

Motion correct error

Hi, I'm having a problem motion correcting my data.

autorecon3 parcellations and corresponding lists of labels
by Eli Diamond 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me clear something up about the different parcellations now performed as part of autorecon3. In tksurfer, when I select file-->Label-->Import Annotation, I can choose from (for the lh, for example) lh.aparc.annot or lh.aparc.a2005s.annot. I understand that one of these is the "old" parcellation and one is the newer one done in (for the moment) the dev version of Freesurfer. My question is which of the aseg.mgz's correspond to which parcellation, and also which list in FREESUFER_HOME contains the list of labels created by which parcellation. When I look in $FREESURFER_HOME, there are several texts with numbered lists of cortical and subcortical areas. Having the correct "match" between aseg and $FREESURFER_HOME/<list> seems to be necessary in the sense that, to load a segmentation in tkmedit, the aseg volume that is loaded must correspond to the appropriate color list in order to get the segmentation labeled properly. My experience has been that aparc+aseg.mgz and FreeSurferColorLUT.txt match one another and that these correspond to the annotation lh.aparc.annot when loaded upon a surface. It has also been my experience that the labels/regions in lh.aparc.a2005s.annot correspond to the list contained in $FREESURFER_HOME/Simple_surface_labels2005.txt. I am hoping someone can help me figure out which aseg volume, if any, contains this particular parcellation. As it happens, my area of interest is the superior temporal gyrus, which is subdivided in this aparc.a2005s.annot but not in the aparc.annot, and because I will be extracting functional and volumetric data about these ROI, I would like to work with as small anatomical areas as possible. The way that this ROI extraction works (as the scripts I am using are set up) involves inputing a particular aseg volume and the number of a given label as it appears on the appropriate corresponding list, and I have been unable to find a way to use the cortical areas identified in the aparc.a2005s.annot annotation. Sorry this email is long, and likely not using the most accurate terminology, but I hope I got my question across. Thanks so much! Best, Eli Diamond

problem in curv surface
by Reza Rajimehr 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hi, I have recently reconstructed a brain using "recon-all -autorecon" in dev environment. First I converted anatomicals to mgz format and then I ran the following commands sequentially: recon-all -subjid subject -autorecon1 -legacy recon-all -subjid subject -autorecon2 The reconstruction has been done successfully without error. The inflated surface is almost fine (without topological defects) but the "curv" surfaces (curv.lh and curv.rh) do not look normal. They have only red boundaries (sulci); the green boundaries (gyri) are absent. The sulc surfaces look fine though. on machine monkeylove source /usr/local/freesurfer/nmr-dev-env setenv SUBJECTS_DIR /space/ship/3/users/reza/mvp022106/3danat which recon-all /usr/local/freesurfer/dev/bin//recon-all cd /space/ship/3/users/reza/mvp022106/MYSTUDY Thanks for any comments, Reza ******************************** Reza Rajimehr, MD NMR Athinoula A.

mri_convert documentation error
by Johannes Klein 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hi folks, There's a small bug in the online help for mri_convert I found when trying to get my input Nifti's left/right to match with freesurfer conventions. When run without any parameters, the last paragraph describes the use of the --in-orientation switch. That must read --in_orientation (probably same for out-/out_). Took me a while to figure that one out ;) Cheers, Johannes

two functions location
by Joongnam Yang 01 Mar '06

Hi, "mris_preproc" and "mri_glmfit" These two functions are not included in the version of Freesurfer that I have. Does anyone know where I can get them? Nam.

Help!
by yanxia 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Dear All, I am a new user of FreeSurfer. I have two questions: 1> Is there a way to convert FreeSurfer surface files to Analyze format? I use 'tkmedit bert brain.mgz lh.pial' to view the image with the surface bounday, and hope that I can save the image and the surface boundary with Analyze format. 2> mri_convert can be use to convert *.mgz file to Analyze file. I use "mri_convert brain.mgz brain.img"> It is empty when I try to open "brain.img" with MRICON software. Thank you so sume. Best Regards, Yan
