Re: [Freesurfer] A Question about How to Map Parcels of the Cortex on the surface of the Brain Cortex
by Bruce Fischl 10 May '19

Hi Mahsid matlab is probably the easiest way, but without knowing what format you have them in it isn't easy for us to say. In matlab you can use write_annotation or write_ascii_curv or something to get it into a format we can handle cheers Bruce cheers Bruce On Fri, 10 May 2019, mahshid fouladivand wrote: > > External Email - Use Caution > > Hello Dear Freesurfer Experts, > > I have a high resolution brain cortex parcellation that is not extracted from Freesurfer.

apply m3z warp to list of coordinates
by Benjamin Wittevrongel 10 May '19

10 May '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear, As part of our invasive work, we would like to extract the mni coordinates of intracranial electrodes. To this end, we follow the following procedure: 1) Pre-implant MRI and Post-implant CT are coregistered using SPM. 2) The pre-implant MRI is processed using the recon-all function. 3) The CT is conformed to the 256^3 space, using 'mri_convert ct.nii ctConformed.nii --conform --nochange' 4) The coordinates (in mri-space, i.e. row-column-slice) of the intracranial electrodes are extracted using a custom semi-automated Matlab script. 5) When recon-all finished, the subject is being warped to MNI space, using 'mri_cvs_register --mov subjectId --mni' The last step returns the non-linear warp in an m3z-file. I now want to apply this transformation to the coordinates of the electrodes. For this, I load the m3z-file in matlab, using the 'mris_read_m3z.m' provided by the freesurfer development repository, which gives me two 4-dimensional matrices (256 x 256 x 256 x 3): vol-orig and vol-dest. However, I cannot find any documentation how to interpret these matrices. Could you provide any information on how I would interpret these matrices, and how to apply the warp to the list of CT coordinates (in row-column-slice) to obtain their mni coordinates? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Benjamin Wittevrongel Laboratory for Neuro- and Psychophysiology KU Leuven

09 May '19

External Email - Use Caution The Connectivity Group (lead: Prof. Dr. Svenja Caspers) of the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-1), Research Centre Jülich (Germany) is seeking applications for a *PostDoctoral Research Position in Population Neuroimaging* ** (E 13 TVöD; 39 hours/week) The Connectivity Group focuses on the investigation of brain variability throughout the life span in relation to environmental and genetic factors, with a particular focus on the aging brain and taking advantage of large population-based cohorts who underwent MR neuroimaging (e.g. UK Biobank, German National Cohort, Human Connectome Project, 1000BRAINS). Specific aspects include structural, resting-state functional connectivity as well as advanced diffusion imaging for structural connectivity analyses, including graph-theory analyses. Large cohorts of thousands of subjects are processed using adjusted pipelines and workflows for high-throughput imaging analytics based on common software packages (e.g. FreeSurfer, FSL, MRtrix) on available high-performance computing systems of the Research Centre Jülich. Current interests cover topics in advanced statistical analyses and data-driven methods using machine-learning and deep learning approaches. These efforts are part of current projects within the Human Brain Project (HBP). The successful candidate has a PhD in neuroscience, computer science, psychology, medicine or related fields and has experience with processing and analyses of MR neuroimaging data in larger cohorts. A strong interest and expertise in applying machine-learning to large neuroimaging datasets is highly desired to enable the candidate to conduct novel and innovative research projects to understand the normal variability of brain aging. Your profile: - deep knowledge of several software packages for processing of neuroimage data (e.g. FreeSurfer, FSL, MRtrix), also including respective python packages (e.g. NiPy, DiPy) and longitudinal pipelines - profound expertise in multivariate statistical analyses, including usage of software for large-scale statistical analyses (e.g. R) and modelling of non-linear and longitudinal effects - profound programming skills (e.g. Python) enabling high-throughput big data analyses - knowledge of and interest in machine-learning and deep-learning techniques to be applied to large neuroimage datasets of population-based cohorts - familiarity in working with large datasets - strong publication track record - ability to work independently - high proficiency in English The applicant will become part of an interdisciplinary team of PostDocs, PhD and MD students with various backgrounds. He / she will have ample possibilities to expand his / her own knowledge and expertise and interact and collaborate with colleagues from different fields, including big data analytics, genetics, epidemiology and microscopic analyses. With our group closely collaborating with the Jülich Supercomputing Center, the applicant will join current efforts in bringing population neuroimaging analytics to high-performance computing clusters for efficient and novel analyses approaches. The applicant will be involved in the supervision and mentoring of PhD, MD, master and bachelor students. Funding for the position is available for two years.

Questions about registration
by Yang, Weiqi 09 May '19

09 May '19

Hi, I am new to Free Surfer and am working on the resting state fMRI data analysis using FS-FAST. When I used the tkregister-sess command to see the registration quality (from structural image to fMRI image), I found that there is one registration not good (QA value = 0.9). So I did manual registration and save the reg. However, I don't know how to use my manual registration file as input for the bbregistration. My solution is that I overwrote the original registration file and ran the automatic registration again. Is there any neater way to do this? How to check the QA value for the updated registration? And I also found there are registration files in both fsd directory (ex. BOLD ) and the session directory (ex. 001). Are these registration files the same? Thank you in advance for your time. Best, Weiqi

External Email - Use Caution ________________________________ Da: Erika Portera Inviato: giovedì 9 maggio 2019 09:08 A: freesurfer-request(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Oggetto: help segmentation Good morning, I need your advice for a segmentation problem that I can't solve: I have noticed that FS does not recognize extracortical lesions (between gray and white) and tends to exclude them. I tried to include them with control points and adding voxel of white substance, following the tutorial, but the problem is not solved. Could you advise me? Thank you[cid:031365d1-0794-4660-a6d1-fdd3f6a9ad5f]
