Hello, Because I had problems finding automatically the corpus callosum cutting plane, I loaded the wm volume, click in the center of the corpus in coronal view, switch to sagittal plane and used the volume RAS coordinates (tailarach coord says "none"). then I ran this line: recon-all -stage2 -cc-xyz -2.0 25.0 0.0 -subjid 22970 but it showed this: ... masking possible pons locations using cc cutting plane voxel to talairach voxel transform 1.000 0.000 0.000 0.000; 0.000 1.000 0.000 0.000; 0.000 0.000 1.000 0.000; 0.000 0.000 0.000 1.000; brainstem (min, max) thickness = (15,35) brainstem min height = 25 min_delta_thickness = 6 min_cont_brainstem_thickness = 8 min_cont_brainstem_height = 3 Looking for area (min, max) = (350, 790) area[0] = 78 (min = 350, max = 790), aspect = 0.52 (min = 0.60, max = 1.20) need search nearby using +/- offset search region where offset is 3..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 6..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 9..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 12..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 15..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 18..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 21..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 24..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 27..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 30..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 33..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 36..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 39..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 42..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 45..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 48..... initial attempt at finding brainstem failed - initiating backup plan A.... brainstem (min, max) thickness = (15,35) brainstem min height = 25 min_delta_thickness = 6 min_cont_brainstem_thickness = 8 min_cont_brainstem_height = 3 Looking for area (min, max) = (350, 790) area[0] = 78 (min = 350, max = 790), aspect = 0.52 (min = 0.60, max = 1.20) need search nearby using +/- offset search region where offset is 3..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 6..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 9..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 12..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 15..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 18..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 21..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 24..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 27..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 30..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 33..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 36..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 39..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 42..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 45..... using +/- offset search region where offset is 48.....

functional overlay overlap
by Ramapriyan Pratiwadi 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

hi all - i've succeeded in displaying FSL z-maps on an inflated brain. however, i'm trying to find a way to display the overlap between two z-maps. i was able to get one to display in red, and the other in blue, with the overlap being purple. however, this doesn't look very convincing, and it would be more helpful to calculate the total number of points in each z-map, and then how many points are in common. is there a way to do this within the freesurfer environment, or even in matlab or idl ? thanks, Ram -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

average of functional overlays across subjects

Hi All, Would someone point me to a place where I can get information on averaging of functional overlays across subjects? All the materials I have do not have any information about averaging.... Nam.

topology of vertices in cortical reconstructions
by Glenn Lawyer 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

Hi, We are experimenting with statistical methods for analyzing cortical thickness differences in a case/control study. After doing the cortical reconstructions and running mris_glm, we will have the significance (p-value) of the t-ratio of the contrast between case and control. What we want to do is first apply some spatial smoothing to the p-values, and use a false discovery rate controlling method on the resulting smoothed p-values to find an appropriate significance level. We can run mris_glm, save the output in bfloat format, and load into Matlab using 'fread'; no problems. What we are lacking is a description of the topology of the vertices, and the mapping from the vector of floats to this topology. I assume a triangulation implies a 6-connect structure. Correct? Assume the vertices are numbered 1:163842 (as in the output of mris_glm --sigt), which vertices are neighbors (what are the six neighbors of vertex 100) ?? Are distances between neighbors (nearly) constant, or do they vary??? Very much appreciative of your reply, +glenn -- I want to go farther, farther! A. E.

manual parcellation of labels
by Ketwaroo, Gyanprakash Avinash 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

Hello, I guess my main question is are the volume tal coordinates in tkmedit equivalent to the vertex Tal in tksurfer. That is, can I ignore drawing the line in tkmedit and converting with csurf, and just trace out the Tal = 0 line in tksurfer? I think this is what you are implying but just want to make sure. Also, the cingulate labels are in RAS coordinates. Is there a quick way to convert the Tal=0 coordinate to a RAS coordinate so that I can just divide the cingulate label by applying a condition (eg RAS < x) rather than tracing it out in tksurfer. Thank you for all your help. Avinash Hi Aviinas, you could draw the label directly on the inflated surfaces, then use mri_label2label to map it from one subject (or the average) to the others. cheers, Bruce

manual parcellation of labels
by Ketwaroo, Gyanprakash Avinash 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

Hi, I want to divide my cingulate labels into anterior and posterior cingulate labels. This divison is based on a line perpendicular to the AC-PC axis, and through the AC. Currently, I am trying to do this by using csurf and clicking and saving points along the Tal = 0 coordinate within the midsagittal plane of the tkmedit view. I then go to the points in the tksurfer view and then draw a line here to create a new label. It seems that there must be an easier way of doing this using the code that csurf employs to link the volume and surface coordinates. If you could suggest a method for automating this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Avinas

Hi, I am having problems with functional overlays onto my anatomical. When I go to set functional sessions directory an Alert message appears saying : session:left_down (functional name) scripts subdir not found using /tmp make scripts dir to save session_specific params. What exactly is this refering too? Thanks alot Ruth Smans

hi, after doing: recon-all -stage4b -subjid 40032 -hemi lh recon-all -stage4b -subjid 40032 -hemi rh, i did: parcellate_subject 40032 and it seems to have finished without problems. now, how can i visualize the different areas? thanks, wan
