Re: [Freesurfer] The results of your email commands

Dear Doug, I'm getting mri_segstats error [mghread(...ribbon.mgz) at the end of -autorecon2. I saw your answer for others about this Q before and i know how to solve this IF i was able to access to the links you posted. ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/transfer/outgoing/flat/greve/mri_segstats.… ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/transfer/outgoing/flat/greve/mri_segstats.… I thought that these should give me some kind of a pop up to prompt me to enter as a guest and get the file to put it in bin/mrisegstats But its not doesin anything. Also im running OSX El capitan. Is there any link that i can visit to download the missing mrisegstats file? Thanks, Yas

Hi Doug, I've attached the recon-all log for an analysis on a research subject that I successfully ran a few weeks ago and then the recon-all log when I try to run the exact same analysis on the exact same subject now. Thanks so much for taking a look at these. The log files you can just attach to the email to the list (or to me directly if there is something in there that you don't want to post) On 05/20/2016 04:02 PM, Aloi, Joseph wrote: > Excellent, thank you!

freeview, tkmedit won't start
by Julian Jäckle 23 May '16

23 May '16

Dear all I installed freesurfer as supposed for linux (ubuntu). When I tried to run freeview an error for tcsh occured. Apparenty I fixed that one but still freeview doesn't start. Typing the command: "freeview" nothing happens (I did export and source freesurfer correctly). Further trying to run tkmedit it says command not found. How can I get freeview and tkmedit to run? Help would be appreciated Julian

Excellent, thank you! To do that, do I send an e-mail to the listserv with the log files attached or do I use the filedrop? yea, can you post the log file of both the successful and failing runs?

Deadline to sign up for Copenhagen Course is near!
by Allison Stevens 23 May '16

23 May '16

Hi everyone, There is just a week and a half left before the deadline to sign up for the FreeSurfer course being held in Copenhagen, Denmark on August 10th through the 12th. The deadline is June 1st. We still have a few places left! You can sign up for one here: https://fscph.nru.dk/registration.html This will be a 3 day course, very similar to the course we hold in Boston twice a year. The course will be taught by Lilla Zollei, Martin Reuter, Emily Lindemer, and myself. If you've had any trouble registering or have any questions, feel free to contact me or Melanie (fs-cph AT nru.dk) Allison

hippocampal subfields analysis took 10 min
by Jiook Cha 23 May '16

23 May '16

Dear Eugenio, I had to run the hippocampal subfield segmentation analysis in Freesurfer v6 manually by running segmentSF_T1.sh program. When I call it through recon-all, it only processed the left hemisphere but not the right. The issue is that running segmentSF only took 10 min per hemisphere. I didn't use multicores. Although the analysis resulted in all the files correctly, I am just concerned if running this manually completed the analysis prematurely. Sincerely, Jiook ᐧ

Job Summary The Methods, Sex differences, and Development Lab, or M(SD), directed by Dr. Adriene Beltz in the Department of Psychology seeks to hire a full-time Lab Coordinator. The goal of the research in the lab is to develop and apply novel quantitative approaches in order to reveal the ways in which the brain mediates biological and environmental influences on behavioral sex differences across development. To achieve this goal, data are collected from children, adolescents, and young adults using multiple methods, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), salivary hormones, observations of social interactions, daily diaries, cognitive tests, and online self reports. This would be an excellent position for a recent graduate seeking to gain additional research experience prior to graduate school. There will be training in multiple methods and opportunities for co-authorship on presentations and publications. The successful candidate will be highly-motivated, reliable, conscientious, and organized.

Extracting BOLD from a flattened surface
by Taha Abdullah 20 May '16

20 May '16

Hello Freesurfer Experts, Long story short--I would like to extract BOLD values from each TR across all vertices for one subjects flattened surface Following is a brief overview of my steps and at the end you can see where I am stuck. First, after *recon-all I* followed the steps to cut the lh inflated surface, saved as a patch, ran *mris_flatten, *converted patch into asc file. Second, I used read_patch.m to extract all spatial information and a net loss of approximately 10k vertices (127k to 116k) We had all functional images processed in FSL, the 4D file has 64x64x36x240 dimensions (voxels are 3.4x3.4x3.0). Next, co-registered the functional and anatomicals together via the following cmd: * bbregister --s cbp001_v1 --mov filtered_func_data.nii.gz --bold --init-fsl --reg dummy1.da*t. Afterwards, converted the volume to a surface using the following cmd*: mri_vol2surf --mov filtered_func_data.nii.gz --reg dummy1.dat --projfrac 0.5 --interp trilinear --hemi lh --o ./lh.func.vol2surf.mgh. *THe dimensions are 127027 x 1 x 1 x 240. Visually no problem when using* tksurfer cbp001_v1 lh inflated -patch /path to flattened patch/ -overlay /lh.func.vol2surf.mgh/ -timecourse lh.func.vol2surf.mgh;* click on the patch and shows the timecourse for that selected vertex. Using the View>Configure>overlay I can shuffle through the TRs to inspect the change in raw BOLD signal per vertex. I have been perusing the email web server searching for how to extract the hemodynamic waveform for each vertex across the flattened surface and ultimately will be using matlab to understand how the spatial transformation is happening. As well I have all the matlab files that seemed relevant to my query (read_surf.m, read_patch.m, and readMRI.m). I was hoping that I would be able to have a text file with all the vertices (127K not the flattened 116k) in rows and each column would have the TRs; I ran this command;* mri_segstats --slabel cbp001_v1 lh /home/share/freesurfer/subjects/cbp001_v1/label/lh.cortex.label --avgwf mri_seg_stats.dat --i lh.func.vol2surf.mgh*, output was the 240 TRs as rows and seems like the average global BOLD signal in the single column corresponding with each TR. Excuse my naiveness, I just recently (1 month ago) started using freesurfer and I feel like I have exhausted as much of the information available on the FS wiki and email server. Any information or advice would be great! I put the commands just to give an idea of my workflow (most of the command lines are from the email server or the FS Wiki) and if there are any issues with my steps please let me know so I can correct them before starting the group analysis.

Mult-Shell Tracula Help
by Kristina Jelinkova 20 May '16

20 May '16

Hello all, I had a question regarding the program Tracula. I have two different DTI sequences that I wish to run (b=900 and b=2000) but am unsure at which step I am suppose to merge the two sequences together. At this point, I have pre-processed each of the sequences separately using trac-all. Should I take each of the separate trac-all output data.nii.gz files, merge them, run bedpostX, and then run the ball-and-stick model fit on the new bedpostX output? Also, is there a way to use nii.gz files in the configuration file rather than a dcm list? Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, I am running dti data with trac-all. I followed the command: trac-all -prep -c /Studies/*/DTI/dmrirc_subject but it exited with error "*Note: indexing (in both time and space) starts with 0 not 1! Inputting -1 for a size will set it to the full image extent for that dimension." * Before. there is another post about similar problem https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail/freesurfer/2013-February/027802.… Dr. Yendiki suggested it could be because missing defined B0 in the dmrirc, but new version wouldn't need this (5.3, a new version?). If so, where can I obtain the B0 data? Can I compute from DICOM like nifti and bval, bvec? Best, Qi
