External Email - Use Caution Hi Freesurfer developers, My question is related to creation of an fsgd file for glm analysis. I have approximately 500 subjects and 10 variables. I was wondering whats the most time efficient way of creating an fsgd file given my data currently resides in an excel file. Best Amrita

Senior Research Scientist position at Penn
by Satterthwaite, Theodore 20 Apr '19

20 Apr '19

External Email - Use Caution Hi All, We have an open Senior Research Scientist position; see info below. Feel free to email me directly. Thanks!! Ted Full post: https://jobs.hr.upenn.edu/postings/45503 Ted Satterthwaite and the Lifespan Brain Institute at Penn are seeking to recruit a Senior Research Scientist to lead the analytic efforts of a multi-institution initiative in developmental data science. This initiative will create a large-scale public resource for developmental human neuroscience. In collaboration with collaborators at Child Mind Institute (Mike Milham) we will aggregate, process, harmonize, and publicly share >10,000 structural and functional images for youth ages 5-22. Using this massive data resource, we will seek to develop normative patterns of brain network development, and identify how abnormal network development is associated with specific patterns of psychopathology. This position will involve working as part of a highly-interdisciplinary research team that includes experts in diverse fields such as network science (Danielle S. Bassett), multivariate pattern analysis (Christos Davatzikos), and imaging statistics (Taki Shinohara). To work effectively in this highly collaborative environment, the applicant must have superior communication, language, and writing skills. The applicant must have completed their Ph.D. in neuroscience, engineering, psychology, or statistics with an established record of high productivity; post-doctoral training is desirable. Expertise in using neuroimaging software (e.g., FSL, FreeSurfer, ANTs, AFNI), statistical packages (e.g., R), and scripting languages (e.g., nipype , python, bash) are required. Flexible salary, based upon experience. Theodore D.

xhemi Longitudinal Comparison
by Wang, Xiaoyu 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer Experts, We are trying to compare the early onset hemisphere vs Late onset hemisphere of PD patients. I am trying to use Xhemi in order to reorganize all early onset hemisphere to the left hemisphere and the late onset to the right hemisphere. I am following the Xhemi wiki tutorial as well as the freesurfer archives messages between Doug and Paula with Subject: [Filipping issue] from 2014. I saw that Doug had told Paula to run mris_preproc twice, first do the left normally >>> mris_preproc --hemi lh --meas thickness --surfreg >>> fsaverage_sym.sphere.reg --s subject1 --s subject2 --o >> subjects.lh.sm00.mgh and then run the right hemisphere subjects with --s subject/xhemi in the command line. >>> mris_preproc --hemi lh --meas thickness --surfreg >>> fsaverage_sym.sphere.reg --s subject3/xhemi --s subject4/xhemi --o >>> subjects.rh.sm00.mgh Then use mri_concat to fuse the two outputs together. 1) My question for this is how do you then compare to the right hemisphere? From the wiki, you need the --xhemi and --paired-diff in the command line to do a cross hemisphere comparison. the above is great to compare to healthy control, but how do I adapt that to do a cross hemisphere comparison. 2) The question I have is how to do a longitudinal comparison between Left and right hemispheres with the xhemi data. Would it be possible to use xhemi together with Mass-Univariate LME? If not, do I need to use Xhemi to generate thickness and volume data? Can't I just use the regular stat data from the regular reconstruction? Sincerely, Xiaoyu Wang

fixing errors with pial boundary
by Morgan Botdorf 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer Experts, I asked about this a few months ago, but didn't receive a reply so thought I would ask again! We have come across several subjects where the pial boundary line does not extend far enough outward and misses some gray matter. We know that control points can be used to fix a similar issue with white matter boundaries. Are there any tools that can be used to fix this type of gray matter error? Thank you, Morgan Botdorf -- Morgan Botdorf, M.S. Graduate Student Neurocognitive Development Lab University of Maryland, College Park mbotdorf(a)terpmail.umd.edu Office: 301.405.5922

convert aseg to functional space
by Sam W. 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

External Email - Use Caution Hi, I just finished reconall and now I'd like to convert the aseg.mgz to native functional space. My first thought was to simply convert the aseg.mgz to native functional space with mri_vol2vol: mri_vol2vol --mov sub001/mri/aseg.mgz --targ example_func.nii.gz --o aseg-in-rawavg.nii --regheader Is this a valid procedure to convert the aseg to functional space? I think the recommended way is to register the example_func to anatomical first: bbregister --mov example_func.nii.gz --s sub001 --reg reg.dat and then use mri_vol2vol with the --inv flag mri_vol2vol --mov sub001/mri/aseg.mgz --targ example_func.nii.gz --o aseg-in-rawavg.nii --regheader --inv But I'm not sure... Could someone confirm which of the above (or maybe none of them) is correct? Best regards, Sam
