FSFAST (plot-twf-sess)
by John Anderson 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Dear Dr Greeve, I am new to FSFAST so I highly appreciate your response. I have resting state fMRI data and I am following the steps as reported in wiki. My questions is regarding motion evaluation. The attached figure is an output of "plot-twf-sess". 1. Given the plotted data can we say that including run 003 is more reliable that all the other runs? 2. In the attached figure the command "plot-twf-sess" provide the maximum and minimum motion for every run on Y axes. I am wondering if there is any way to create a cutoff value of motion parameters for all the runs in the study were data can be included/excluded depending on lower/upper than this cutoff? Thank you for help John

using -make all with base
by Emily Grossnickle Peterson 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Hello all, I made edits to the brainmask and wm of a base image (in the longitudinal stream) and am getting stuck when trying to re-process recon-all. Specifically, I can't seem to get the -make flag to work. I think it is probably either a silly error on my part or perhaps -make isn't designed for base edits? The command and error output are below. Thanks in advance, Emily *This is the command I ran on an HPC:* recon-all -base template_${SGE_TASK_ID} -tp T1_$SGE_TASK_ID -tp T2_$SGE_TASK_ID -make all *This is the error message:* Running on compute-0-0.local Subject Stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c Current Stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c rm: cannot remove `/share/aeg58/Freesurfer/4047_both/template_4047/scripts/patchdir.txt': Permission denied cp: cannot create regular file `/share/aeg58/Freesurfer/4047_both/template_4047/scripts/lastcall.build-stamp.txt': Permission denied Subject 'template_4047': make all recon-all -s /share/aeg58/Freesurfer/4047_both/template_4047 -nuintensitycor ERROR: It appears that this subject ID is an existing base/template from longitudinal processing (-base): template_4047 If you are trying to re-run a -base template you need to pass the -base and all -tp flags: \' -base <templateid> -tp <tpNid> ... -all \' (Instead of -all you can pass other flags, such as -autorecon2 -autorecon3 to run only parts.) make: *** [/share/aeg58/Freesurfer/4047_both/template_4047/mri/nu.mgz] Error 1

Hello, I am trying to have the atlases aparc.a2009+aseg.mgz, hippocampal subfield etc ... in a matrix with the same size as the input of recon-all (and not the cubic matrix 256x256x256) and with the same orientation. what is the best way to do it ?

white surface contour discontinued in 2D display in freeView
by Antonin Skoch 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Dear experts, In one subject I found discontinued white surface contour in 2D display in freeView. See the screenshot. I have also uploaded the subject as discontinued_white_surf dir to your server so that you can take look and diagnose. RAS coordinates: -19.52,37.81,22.53. The discontinuity is only present in coronal view. Looking at the data in 3D display, I see nothing unusual except that the density of the vertices in that region is very low. Is it only an issue with freeView display? Regards, Antonin Skoch

Re: [Freesurfer] Brain editing for TRACULA?
by Yendiki, Anastasia 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

Hi Yuwen - TRACULA is pretty forgiving in terms of imperfections in the recon-all output. TRACULA uses only the aparc+aseg, after mapping it into the subject¹s diffusion space, which is typically lower-res than the structural. Also, TRACULA only uses the relative positions of white matter voxels to their neighboring aparc+aseg structures. So small errors in the boundaries of these structures will not make a difference for TRACULA. Of course, if there¹s a more catastrophic error, like a whole lobe missing from the aparc+aseg because of a brain mask error, that¹s going to affect TRACULA. a.y On 7/29/17, 1:31 PM, "freesurfer-bounces(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu on behalf of Yuwen Hung" <freesurfer-bounces(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu on behalf of yuwenh(a)mit.edu> wrote: >Dear DTI Expert: >I wonder I may get help with this quick question - Is the brain editing >necessary (or critical) for TRACULA processing? > >Thank you! >Yuwen > >_______________________________________________ >Freesurfer mailing list >Freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu >https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer

longitudinal TRACULA
by Lars M. Rimol 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

Hi, I've run cross-sectional TRACULA on one subject, three different timepoints. Now I'm trying to run a longitudinal analysis on the same subject's 3 timepoints. My understanding was that for TRACULA, unlike for morphometry, I don't need to first run cross sectional before longitudinal, the only requirement is that I have a longitudinal dmrirc file that specifies the timepoints with their corresponding files. It crashed with these error messages: #@# Inter-subject registration (base template) lø. 29. juli 14:25:45 +0200 2017 cp /work/projects/nn9208k/tbi/morfometri_test/DWI/TRACULA/long/1005_c1.long.1005_base/dmri/xfms/mni2anatorig.mat /work/projects/nn9208k/tbi/morfometri_test/DWI/TRACULA/long/1005_c1.long.1005_base/dmri/xfms/anatorig2mni.mat /work/projects/nn9208k/tbi/morfometri_test/DWI/TRACULA/long/1005_base/dmri/xfms cp: cannot stat `/work/projects/nn9208k/tbi/morfometri_test/DWI/TRACULA/long/1005_c1.long.1005_base/dmri/xfms/mni2anatorig.mat': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `/work/projects/nn9208k/tbi/morfometri_test/DWI/TRACULA/long/1005_c1.long.1005_base/dmri/xfms/anatorig2mni.mat': No such file or directory Linux compute-16-32.local 2.6.32-696.3.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 20 01:26:55 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Any idea what went wrong here?

Manoach, Ph.D. The position will involve investigating the role of sleep in memory consolidation, how these processes go awry in schizophrenia and autism, and the effects of pharmacological and other interventions. Our work has linked cognitive deficits to specific heritable mechanisms (sleep spindles and other sleep oscillations) and we are seeking effective interventions. In collaboration with Dr. Robert Stickgold’s lab at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, we are extending and expanding this basic and clinical research program using state-of-the art tools including high density EEG, MEG, DTI, functional connectivity MRI, fMRI, and behavioral studies. We are seeking someone to participate in these foundation and NIMH-funded investigations who is familiar with cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging methodology including MEG and/or EEG and data analysis, and is interested in developing research questions and optimizing analysis streams tailored to the study aims and populations. New approaches and ideas are encouraged, as are independent projects that dovetail with current studies. The position requires working closely with the PI, as well as with Dr. Stickgold, other Martinos Center investigators, particularly Dr. Matti Hamalainen, Director of the MEG Core Lab, and lab mates to design studies, acquire data, and develop, explore, improve and apply data analytic techniques. Training in clinical research and in the acquisition, analysis, and interpretation of neuroimaging data will be provided. Requirements: PhD (or MD) in neuroscience, psychology, engineering or a related discipline and a strong research background are required. Ideal candidates would have extensive experience in data analysis, a background in computational neuroscience and/or signal processing, be proficient in Matlab/Python and be interested in methods development. The following are also beneficial: experience with MEG/EEG data analysis/methodology, background in cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychology and sleep; interest/experience with clinical populations; and experience in task design and analysis for cognitive experiments.

negative header after preproc-sess
by Bai Haohao 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

Hello Freesurfer experts, I am running my data with preproc-sess to project my func data to individual anatomy file, and the command shows as below: preproc-sess -sf ${Sesslist} -fsd "bold" -surface self lhrh -fwhm 0 -per-run -force And the subjectname point to the subject dir that created after recon-all. After the running completed, I try to load data from fmcpr.sm0.self.lh.nii.gz with nibabel, and I get this error info: >>> f.get_data() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/nibabel/spatialimages.py", line 341, in get_data return np.asanyarray(self._data) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/core/numeric.py", line 512, in asanyarray return array(a, dtype, copy=False, order=order, subok=True) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/nibabel/arrayproxy.py", line 55, in __array__ self._data = self._read_data() File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/nibabel/arrayproxy.py", line 60, in _read_data data = self.header.data_from_fileobj(fileobj) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/nibabel/analyze.py", line 486, in data_from_fileobj data = self.raw_data_from_fileobj(fileobj) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/nibabel/analyze.py", line 458, in raw_data_from_fileobj return array_from_file(shape, dtype, fileobj, offset) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/nibabel/volumeutils.py", line 493, in array_from_file raise IOError(msg) IOError: Expected -1804 bytes, got 264809160 bytes from file "fmcpr.vol2surf.lh.nii.gz" - could the file be damaged?
