trac-all prep error
by Zeng, Qi 13 May '20

13 May '20

External Email - Use Caution Hi, I have an error message when processing trac-all prep. attached the log file. error: "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error' what(): Mat::operator(): index out of bounds" Recon-all was finished without error. However, my raw DTI DCM file is 120 compared to others with over 2000 slices. Would that be a problem? Best, Qi -- Ph.D. candidate Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

External Email - Use Caution Hello Tristan, Going back to that thread, I’d like to try the command you uploaded data for as freesurfer_data.tar.gz on a couple of Ubuntu systems, but either I’m looking in the wrong place or it’s not there anymore.  Is there a shared google drive link or something you point me to for a download link?  > freeview -v brainmask.mgz T1.mgz -f lh.white:edgecolor=yellow > lh.pial:edgecolor=magenta rh.white:edgecolor=yellow rh.pial:edgecolor=magenta > > We can also replicate the error by opening freeview and opening all the above > files sequentially through the GUI. - R.

Now with everyone in quarantine (and RHEL6 entering ELS this November), it's a decent time to look back into this issue. I wouldn't have reached back out to the FS list, however when I saw that a focus was being placed on Ubuntu (and that there was a working Ubuntu VM), I became hopeful that maybe this issue was resolved?TFrom: fsbuild@contbay.com <fsbuild@contbay.com>Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2020 3:57 AMTo: freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu <freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu>Cc: ts+ml@rcmd.org <ts+ml@rcmd.org>; TRISTAN J PAUTSCH <tpautsch@wisc.edu>Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] on Ubuntu (was FreeSurfer V 7.0 on Centos 8) We would also like to know about any issues you are seeing on Ubuntu.I think Ubuntu eliminated some jpeg/png packages from their repos.  Those can be downloaded and installed manually,e.g., libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb, libjpeg62_6b2-3_amd64.deb.  That is part of the reason we made an Ubuntu 18 VM available with everything pre-installed.. The VM is essentially what has been used for the freesurfer course which runs mostly freeview commands with some mri* commands (though I believe a recon-all also works).  The VM is running binaries built on CentOS7 - as the reference platforms for freesurfer dev are currently CentOS and MacOS.  We are looking at making a .deb installer for freesurfer on Ubuntu though.There is some info on the wiki about packages required to compile the source on Ubuntu - but you don’t need all of these to run (even the CentOS) binaries.MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "surfer..nmr.mgh.harvard.edu" claiming to behttps://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/BuildRequirements- R.On Mar 31, 2020, at 02:50, Tim Schäfer <ts+ml(a)rcmd.org> wrote:       External Email - Use Caution        Hi Tristan,I'm about to setup a FreeSurfer installation on an Ubuntu system, and I wondered whether you could elaborate on the kind of issues you are experiencing.Best,Tim--Dr. Tim SchäferPostdoc Computational NeuroimagingDepartment of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and PsychotherapyUniversity Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, GermanyOn March 30, 2020 at 11:01 PM TRISTAN J PAUTSCH <tpautsch(a)wisc.edu> wrote:       External Email - Use Caution        Is there going to be an "official" Ubuntu build this time around (as in, built and tested in Ubuntu) that isn't the VM?

External Email - Use Caution Thank you, Doug. That makes sense. Do you think in this case it is a good option to add the flag --illcond to run this analysis without getting an error? or is it better not to use the variable apoe in these statistical analyzes? What do you recommend us? Best wishes, Marina.

Re: [Freesurfer] Compare individual to a group

External Email - Use Caution Hi Douglas, I have tried to follow your suggestion to use the transformed thickness file like this: mris_preproc --fsgd xxx.fsgd \ --meas $meas.fwhm$smoothing.xformed.mgz \ --target fsaverage \ --hemi $hemi \ --out $hemi.$meas.$smoothing.mgh But it says $meas.fwhm$smoothing.xformed.mgz does not match surface (163842,166904). My files $meas.fwhm$smoothing.xformed.mgz come from $meas.fwhm$smoothing.fsaverage (just by multiplying it with a weight). If I use "--cache-in" in the mris_preproc like below: mris_preproc --fsgd xxx.fsgd \ --cache-in $meas.fwhm$smoothing.fsaverage \ --target fsaverage \ --hemi $hemi \ --out $hemi.$meas.$smoothing.mgh The above command line runs fine. I know the problem in the first command line might be that the files $meas.fwhm$smoothing.xformed.mgz are already on the fsaverage surface, not the subject surface. But mris_preproc is still trying to use mri_surf2surf to resample those mgh file from the subject surface to fsaverage surface, which leads to the "does not match surface" error. My question is: How can I tell mris_preproc to regard those transformed files to be on the fsaverage surface already (instead of subject's surface), just like the second command line where the "-cache-in" option is used? You know, my transformed files are Just derived from cached files $hemi.$meas.fwhm$smoothing.fsaverage.mgh in the $subject/surf directories. I do not want to use mri_surf2surf to transform them to the subject surface first, and then let mris_preproc transform them back to fsaverage surface again. Thanks!

If I apply my transform to both the healthy controls and the patient, I guess I would lose the convenience of using mri_glmfit, which eventually loses the convenience of using mri-glmfit-sim (I don't care not using mri_glmfit, but I want to use mri_glmfit-sim to do multiple comparisons correction). That is because mri_glmfit uses the prepared output from mris_preproc, which I have no control over to use the transformed subject. The only way I can circumvent this is to use my transformed thickness file to overwrite the FS calculated thickness file, but that is what I am hesitant to do. If you have good suggestions regarding this, please let me know. Thanks! Xiao On Mon, May 11, 2020 at 12:25 PM Douglas N.

Which subject does recon-all register surfaces to?
by Ian 13 May '20

13 May '20

External Email - Use Caution Hi guys. After recon-all, the /surf/?h.sphere.reg file implies a registration has been performed to an "average" subject on a sphere. Can you please tell me which subject this is? Is it SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage? If so, what is SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/lh.sphere.reg a registration to? If not, where can I find the subject that recon-all registers to? Thanks, Ian -- *Ian Hardingham*

Issue of freesurfer ubuntu 18 VM setup on windows 10
by Yue Liu 13 May '20

13 May '20

External Email - Use Caution Hello FreeSurfer Developers. I installed and setup freesurfer ubuntu 18VM following steps in the website https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki//VM_67_win. However, when I clicked green start button to run VM at the last step, it did not go directly to an empty desktop. A login interface appeared instead with the account name as "Developer" (Please see attached screeshot). I tried some passwords or using other account names, while none did work. Do you have any idea what is the problem? Thank you, Yue Liu
