comparing sphere and sphere.reg
by tony han 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hi, I'm trying evaluating the distortion for each subject from their native space to fsaverage atlas space. Is it a appropriate measure to compare ?h.sphere and ?h.sphere.reg? I assume that by comparison, I may get the how each vertex warped during the registration? Thanks! Best, Tony

Compare longitudinal evolution of two vertex-wise data
by Matthieu Vanhoutte 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Dear experts, Do you know if there would be a mean to compare longitudinal evolution of two vertex-wise data (i.e. kind of longitudinal correlation) with LME tools or others ? Best regards, Matthieu

Re: [Freesurfer] mris_preproc srcsurfreg Freesurfer 6.0

Thanks you for your reply. I have used surfreg script and now it runs correctly. However, my subject list is very long, I have 100 subjects and running surfreg with all subject takes 13 hours (using all my cpus in a parallel way). Is there any option to reduce this long time? Any cuda file? Thanks in advance, M del Mar

Re: [Freesurfer] mris_preproc srcsurfreg Freesurfer 6.0

<https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu&q=from…> Thank you for the insight; that is very interesting. I'm performing tests of continuous independent variables over a single sample of normally developing children (ages uniformly distributed from 8 to 15 along with 50/50 gender split). The IV is, for example, age-normed cognitive scores falling in a normal distribution. Since there is only one group, I suppose creating my own template from all samples could introduce significant bias; especially if there are hidden sources of heterogeneity I'm unaware of. Thank you.

Hello FreeSurfer, While running base step of the longitudinal pipeline, i got the following error (please see the rec-all.log file for more details). How do i solve this problem? Thank you Best, Paul

Creating functional ROI
by a a 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Dear FreeSurfer community, I am new to FreeSurfer and I apologize in advance if my questions are too naiive. I have some nii files for both a localizer and an experiment. I would like to find some ROIs in the localizer, get their coordinates, create a mask, and then find those regions on the experiment data and run MVPA. My main goal is to keep everything in the native space. Also, I am looking for percent signal change in selected ROIs. Here is my approach to analyze the localizer data: First, I ran the recon-all command. Then, I preprocessed the data in native space. The command that I ran was: preproc-sess -s sess01 -fsd bold -stc odd -surface self lhrh -mni305 -fwhm 5 -per-session -force Then, I configured my analyses and contrasts in each hemisphere, as well as the volume. Finally, I ran the analyses for each hemispheres and the volume. I ran this command: selxavg3-sess -s sess01 -analysis ffa.native.rh Lastly, I visualized the results by running these commands: tksurfer-sess -s sess01 -hemi rh -analysis ffa.native.rh -c faces-vs-bodies -self tkmedit-sess -s sess01 -analysis ffa.native.mni -c faces-vs-bodies -self So far, I think I have done everything correctly as am seeing the activation map where I am supposed to. Now, I would like to be able to select some of these ROIs/clusters, take their voxel coordinates/numbers and create a mask. Then, use this mask on the main experiment (non localizer) nii files and get the signal value for only those voxels. Is this possible? I have found this tutorial to create a functional ROI https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/CreatingROIs but unfortunately I am not following it. I don't see these options in tksurfer. Also is it possible to create an ROI on the surface? I appreciate any help. Thank you so much Ashley Cole

preproc-sess with symbolic links
by Tuominen, Lauri Johannes 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Hi all, I’m trying to run preproc-sess using symbolic links in my SUBJECTS_DIR but the program exists with error message: could not find session XXXX. Symbolic links work fine when I run recon-all for instance. Suggestion for a fix would be greatly appreaciated. Cheers! Laurio

Creating cached versions of Xhemi registrations
by Mehta, Chintan 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Dear FreeSurfer Users, I'm using FreeSurfer version 6.0. I've processing subjects with recon-all and performed surface-based interhemispheric registration (via Xhemi at https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Xhemi) I want to run a GLM on the subjects Area and Thickness from the differences (Left minus Right). When stacking subjects asymmetry maps, I wanted to use a "--cache-only". The post at https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg27657.html seems to imply this requires running > recon-all -qcache -measure area -target fsaverage_sym -fwhm 10 -no-isrunning -s subjid -hemi lh for area at FWHM = 10. This would create files with the left hemisphere area registered to fsaverage_sym at smoothing FWHM = 10: $subjid/surf/lh.area.fwhm10.fsaverage_sym.mgh However, how do I do this also for the xhemi registration? I.e. create a file like $subjid/xhemi/surf/lh.area.fwhm10.fsaverage_sym.mgh Then, if I do this, can I stack the subjects using something like: > mris_preproc --target fsaverage_sym --hemi lh --xhemi --paired-diff \ --srcsurfreg fsaverage_sym.sphere.reg \ --cache-in area.fwhm10.fsaverage_sym \ --out lh.lh-rh.area.sm10.mgh \ --s subj1 --s subj2 ... Thank you. Best, Chintan mris_preproc --target fsaverage_sym --hemi lh --xhemi --paired-diff \ --srcsurfreg fsaverage_sym.sphere.reg \ --meas thickness \ --out lh.lh-rh.thickness.sm00.mgh \ --s subj1 --s subj2 ...

Dear Doug, Are there reasons why registering to my_subject_average (template defined from, say, average in a cross-sectional sample) can be better than registering to fsaverage? Thank you. Best, Chintan
