Correlation between CTh and Clinical Data
by Shatil, Anwar Shahadat 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Dear Experts: I am very new to freesurfer glmfit and this post may seem dumb. I wanted to find the correlation between Cth and Education for each of HC and RRMS group regressing out the effect of gender and (demeaned) age. My fsgd file is something like below. GroupDescriptorFile 1 Title Group-Edu-Correlation MeasurementName thickness Class FemaleHC Class FemaleRRMS Class MaleHC Class MaleRRMS Variables Age Education Input 1 FemaleRRMS -7.97 0.243 Input 2 MaleRRMS -2.97 -1.300 Input 3 FemaleHC -12.97 -0.914 Input 5 Male HC 4.03 -1.686 ………………….. I used DODS method. For HC, I set the correlation matrix as: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.5 0 0.5 0 And for RRMS, I set the matrix as: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.5 0 0.5 1. I am wondering, if my DODS contrasts are correct. 2. To get better DOF, should I create two different FSGD file for each group (i.e. one for HC and one for RRMS)? 3. If I create two different FSGD file for each group then can I use DOSS method and use the contrast: 0 0 0 1 ?

Hello All, Users on newer linux distributions who upgrade from Freesurfer version 5.3 to version 6.0 may get the following error message: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- GNU libc version: 2.17 ERROR: Systems running GNU glibc version greater than 2.15 require a newly formatted license file (it's free). Please download a new one from the following page: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a known issue, and as the message says, it is resolved by downloading a newly formatted license file from our registration page: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html Simply overwrite the old license file with the newly formatted one.

mri_surf2surf on edited subjects
by Defenderfer, Matthew K 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Hi all, I am trying to transfer a surface file from fsaverage_sym space to a recently edited individual subject's hemisphere. I previously ran recon-all on the subject and then edited the wm, brainmask, etc. to fix some defects I had found. Before the edits, I could transfer the surface and load it on the subject's hemisphere as an overlay perfectly fine. After editing and rerunning the subject through recon-all and the xhemi pipeline, I tried to transfer and load the overlay again using the following command, same as originally: mri_surf2surf --srcsubject fsaverage_sym --srcsurfreg sphere.reg --trgsubject subj001 --trgsurfreg fsaverage_sym.sphere.reg --hemi lh --sval template.sym.mgh --tval subj001/surf/template.sym.mgh The command completes, but the resulting overlay does not have the same number of vertices as the surface. It does however, have the same number of vertices as the original surface from before rerunning the recon-all command. So it seems like it's still transferring the overlay to original surface. My SUBJECTS_DIR does not have the subjects' original recon-all data in it either, just the data from the edited recon-all. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thank you! -Matt Defenderfer Matthew K.

Re: [Freesurfer] Qdec Table Loading Error

there are lots of strange characters in that file (as revealed with the od octal dump program). Maybe run dos2unix on the file or create it from scratch.

JRE error in fsfast/matlab
by Yagmur Ozdemir 19 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Hello FreeSurfer experts, I have been running into a matlab-related problem that I was wondering if anyone came across. I am using Matlab2017b with Freesurfer 6.0. Whenever I run selxavg-sess<https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/selxavg-sess> command, the matlab tries to find the OpenGL rendering, then gives a Java fatal error with a failure to find the Java Runtime Environment and exits. (I don't have the command outputs with me right now, sorry.) I have been trying to fix it with getting a better graphics card, OpenGL, getting Octave etc but this error didn't come up when I was using an earlier version of Matlab. I would appreciate any help. Best Idil

?h.DKTatlas100.gcs to annot
by tony han 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Hi, Is it possible to get an annot file for ?h.DKTatlas100.gcs, not for individuals, but for fsaverage atlas? I want to plot the 'standard' parcellation, instead of individual ones, on the surface so that I can use as a general reference. Thanks! Tony

LGI ERROR
by 郑凤莲 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

Hi professors, I am using Freesurfer 6.0 for calculating LGI. I have done 'recon-all' for it. When I ran Monte Carlo in qdec (FWHM=10), it has errors: However, when FWHM=5, It was ok. What led to this result? I don't know why. Thanks in advance ! Zheng

Re: [Freesurfer] Dura classified as GM in brainmask
by FSL Analysis 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

Hi Bruce, Thank you for your reply. I am using 5.3.0 version. Do I still only correct misclassified GM voxels in the brainmask? For the subjects with brain classified as cerebral cortex in the aseg file which is outside of the pial surface (but present in the brainmask) how do I correct this: 1. If it should be GM how do I edit the pial surface? 2. If it is non-brain matter how do I remove it from the aseg file- do I erase these voxels from the brainmask even though they are not in the pial surface mask? Thanks, Ciara Hi Ciara what version are you running? I think you only need to correct voxels that cause the white and/or pial surfaces to be incorrect, as we correct the aseg with them (at least I think we do in v6) cheers Bruce On Wed, Dec 13, 2017 at 12:11 PM, FSL Analysis <fslanalysis(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi again, > > I realize my last question about the brainmask did not make sense.

Transforming invasive electrodes coordinates to a template brain
by Peled, Noam 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

Dear freesurfer experts, I would like to present invasive electrodes from different subjects in the same template brain. I thought about doing a volumetric registration (all the electrodes are depth) using mri_cvs_register: mri_cvs_register --mov {subject} --template {template} --outdir $SUBJECTS_DIR/{template}/mri_cvs_register --step3 And then using mri_vol2vol that'll use the resulting m3z transformation file. Can I do it for a list of coordinates? Thanks, Noam
