Hi everyone, The Lab for Computational Neuroimaging is hiring new Research Assistants. The job description is included below, with instructions on how to apply through MGH. Please feel free to forward on to anyone who may be interested. Computational Neuroimaging Lab seeks Research Assistant/Technician For this position, the Research Technician (RT) will learn how to run MRI experiments on several different MRI scanners (small bore 9.4T, whole-body 3T, and/or whole-body 7T), for both in vivo and ex vivo (human) projects. Responsibilities of the RT will also include preparing the brain samples to be scanned, processing the data, presenting the data at internal meetings, troubleshooting problems that arise, and analyzing data. Our methods are unique and so all new staff will be trained in them. Candidates with skills & competencies that support their ability to learn these methods quickly will be stronger candidates. We are looking to fill 2-3 positions to replace RTs going on to graduate school. The position involves working in a fast-paced computational neuroimaging lab. The lab is comprised of faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and research assistants from different backgrounds including Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Psychology, Computer Science, Math, Physics, and Biology. Using these different backgrounds, the lab develops and maintains software to analyze MRI data and performs cutting edge research in a variety of domains. Other projects/tasks the RT may be involved in: *Recruitment of research subjects for in vivo scanning projects *Management of IRB protocols *Teaching FreeSurfer, our in-house software, to users from around the globe *Performing quality assessments of data run with FreeSurfer *Troubleshooting software issues for FreeSurfer users *Beta-testing new versions of FreeSurfer or other software developed in-house *Developing or improving scripts and/or code (via C shell scripting, C++, or Python) *Performing (p)OCT acquisitions on a customized (p)OCT imaging system and associated data processing The position offers great opportunities to work with prominent scientists, people from a variety of fields, a great and fun team, opportunities to publish, as well as guidance and support for future career choices. Please see our website to learn more about the different ongoing projects: http://martinos.org/lab/lcn Education: Bachelor’s degree required. Relevant backgrounds would be Neuroscience, Psychology, Engineering, Computer Science, and/or Biology. Experience: New graduates with some lab experience (via course work, internships, etc.) or those without any prior research experience will be considered for the Research Technician I position outlined above. Those with a minimum of 1 year of directly related work experience will be considered for a Research Technician II position. Individuals with even more experience or advanced degrees should still apply as there is the potential to offer a more advanced position depending on the individual’s experience. How to Apply for the Position: Please apply for the position on the MGH job board by providing a resume and cover letter: http://www.massgeneral.org/careers/viewall.aspx Look for Research Technician I (and II), job # 3113031 Use this link to see the full job description: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/ResearchAssistant Regards, Leah Morgan

Oval shape in average subject inflated
by Marina Fernández 15 Jan '20

15 Jan '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer team, I created the FS average subject of the same dataset with 5th and 6th order icosahedron tesselation using the following commands: make_average_subject --fsgd fsgd.txt --ico 5 --out avg_subject_ico5 make_average_subject --fsgd fsgd.txt --ico 6 --out avg_subject_ico6 When I load the inflated surface of the avg_subject_ico5 with tksurfer , it has a oval shape while when I load the avg_subject_ico6 it seems to be a normal shape. Please, see attached image. Thank you in advance. Best wishes, Marina.

Max threshold marked as '-inf' in cluster summary file
by Bronwyn Overs 14 Jan '20

14 Jan '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer Mailing List, I have completed an LME analysis in matlab and have generated a number of different cluster summary files for my various contrasts. In many of resulting cluster summary files the 'Max' value for the largest cluster which encompasses most of the brain surface is reported as infinity ('-inf'). Please find an example file attached. As I was hoping to use these values to generate effect size estimates, can you please tell me what alternate value I could substitute here for 'Max'? Kind regards, Bronwyn Overs Research Assistant Neuroscience Research Australia Margarete Ainsworth Building Barker Street Randwick Sydney NSW 2031 Australia M 0411 308 769 T +61 2 9399 1725 [ http://neura.edu.au/ | neura.edu.au ] [ https://twitter.com/neuraustralia | Twitter ] | [ https://www.facebook.com/NeuroscienceResearchAustralia | Facebook ] | [ http://www.neura.edu.au/help-research/subscribe | Subscribe ]

how to include Schaefer atlas into freesurfer and compute surface statistics
by Kate Marvel 14 Jan '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer team, I would like to include Schaefer atlas into freesurfer. The Schaefer atlas can be found in the link below: https://github.com/ThomasYeoLab/CBIG/tree/master/stable_projects/brain_parc… My question is how can I integrate the atlas in the freesurfer so that I can run recon-all and calculate the statistics using Schaefer parcellations, just like aparc_DK40 or aparc_a2009s atlases already pre-installed in freesurfer Thank you, -- kate

Re: [Freesurfer] Right Lateral Ventricle Omitted from white and pial surfaces
by Rachel Hoel 14 Jan '20

External Email - Use Caution Thank you, I am still checking in with my supervisors about sending the subject. For now, if we are only interested in looking at grey matter data, do we need to be concerned if the subcortical segmentation isn’t accurate? Best, Rachel

Skipping bias field correction
by Patrick 13 Jan '20

13 Jan '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer experts, I am trying to run recon-all but I want to skip bias field estimation and correction step. I have tried the following: 1) Run recon-all by specifiying -nonuintensitycor2) Running recon-all by specifying "motioncor" followed by "talairach" (additionally copying "orig" file and renaming it as "nu" However, in both the cases, it looks like Freesurfer is still running bias correction. How can I go about skipping bias field correction? Thanks and RegardsPatrick
