why the size become larger after fdr correction

Dear experts I use the following command and the Size(mm^2) was28.65. mri_surfcluster --in leg.volume.lh.20/g2v2/sig.mgh --thmin 3.7190 --no-adjust --sign abs --subject fsaverage --hemi lh --annot aparc.a2009s --mask leg.volume.lh.20/mask.mgh --sum leg.volume.lh.20/g2v2/sig.z3.7190.txt # ClusterNo Max VtxMax Size(mm^2) TalX TalY TalZ NVtxs Annot 1 4.068 160031 28.65 -7.5 -42.6 9.2 87 G_cingul-Post-ventral However, When I used the FDR correction and found that size become larger (76467.08). mri_surfcluster --in leg.volume.lh.20/g2v2/sig.mgh --fdr 2.3 --no-adjust --sign abs --subject fsaverage --hemi lh --annot aparc.a2009s --mask leg.volume.lh.20/mask.mgh --cwsig 5 --sum fdr.2.3.txt # ClusterNo Max VtxMax Size(mm^2) TalX TalY TalZ NVtxs Annot 1 4.068 160031 76467.08 -7.5 -42.6 9.2 149953 G_cingul-Post-ventral Why the size become larger ? Or is there some problem? Thank you

Polar angle wedge default position
by Jackie Lam 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Thanks Doug. I assume that Freesurfer begins with 0 and proceeds to positive values if one specifies “counterclockwise” in the rtopy.par file, and if one chooses “clockwise” I assume Freesurfer starts with 0 and proceeds to negative values. Is that right? >On 07/16/2014 04:29 PM, Jackie Lam wrote: >> Hello all, >> >> In Freesurfer’s analysis of retinotopy data, what is the phase assigned by freesurfer to the very beginning of the > stimulation paradigm? >> I would assume that it should be 0, but it would be good to verify. > Yes, 0. > Then, how do the phases proceed after the beginning?

Can't Remove WM
by Weber, Wade (weberw) 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi Surfers, I am running recon-all on some subjects and have run into a strange problem. When we go back to look at the WM voxels for editing, the wm.mgz layer has a light blue tint over the whole layer. When we try to edit the WM voxels, we can add , but we cannot delete any WM voxels. Also, all the WM voxels show up as yellow instead of red as we have set them to show up as red. We tried deleting all the FS files and re-doing the recon-all, but it still shows up like this. This has only happened on 3 or 4 subjects out of about 50. I've attached a picture of our problem Thanks in advance!

qdec error
by Anna Jonsson 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Dear group, I now have error loading my qdec table into qdec, for this error fsid column: 1 Number of factors: 8 Number of subjects: 168 ERROR: QdecSubject::GetContinuousFactor failure: could not find factor name: age_demeaned for subject XXX However those 5 of those "factors" are continious, and Im assuming the problem is that for some reason qdec thinks they are categorical, and should have a file with levels corresponding to them. How I make freesurfer know they are continuous? Kind Wishes, Linn

Re: [Freesurfer] How to extract significant result for each subject
by wang kangcheng 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Dear Douglas I try the analysis of volume and other indexes, not just thickness. I was confused that why the data of volume for each subject was so small (data in the file of cache.th13.pos.y.ocn.dat, e.g 1.39463 1.50616 2.53250) after using the command of mri_glmfit-sim (mri_glmfit-sim --glmdir aaa.thickness(or volume, sulc).lh.10 --cache 1.3 pos --cwp 1 --2spaces). Could you tell me the unit for each index (e.g thickness, volume, sulc,pial_lgi)? Thank you

?Sequence for Hippo_subfields
by Kev 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Dear FS experts, I'm in the designing stage of a neuroimaging project on a 3T scanner, and I'm interested in looking at structural information on hippocampus (including subfields). In addition to the MPRAGE or IR-SPGR, is it worth running a specific acquisition sequence geared to get the most out of all the hippocampus structural measures? Thanks and regards, Kev

Re: [Freesurfer] trac-all -prep error field map error
by Eileen Moore 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi Anastasia, OK - our imaging physicists had developed a wrapper script around epidewarp which takes our dicom images and converts them into the phase difference map (it is based on the script that was authored by Doug Greve for the fBIRN consortium). It looks like the tracula script requires dicom images. Is there a way for me to do epidewarp manually and then follow through with the remaining steps using trac-all? Thanks, Eileen.

Error in pre-processing
by 渡辺杏里 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Dear TRACULA experts I am writing to ask about an error in pre-processing in TRACULA. After making FSL radiological header of dwi_orig_flip.nii.gz, an error occurs. When the name of file is changed from dwi_orig_flip.mghdti.bvals to bvals, I can't find the file dwi_orig_flip.mghdti.bvecs. So an error is mv: rename /volumes/mybook/Anri/diffusion_tutorial/HC_025/dmri/dwi_orig_flip.mghdti.bvals to /volumes/mybook/Anri/diffusion_tutorial/HC_025/dmri/bvals: No such file or directory caused. The content of bvals is not overwritten. I attached my configuration file, the error log and bvals. -error log- fslorient -forceradiological /volumes/mybook/Anri/diffusion_tutorial/HC_025/dmri/dwi_orig_flip.nii.gz INFO: found /volumes/mybook/Anri/diffusion_tutorial/HC_025/dmri/dwi_orig.mghdti.bvecs, converting to FSL format mv -f /volumes/mybook/Anri/diffusion_tutorial/HC_025/dmri/dwi_orig_flip.mghdti.bvecs /volumes/mybook/Anri/diffusion_tutorial/HC_025/dmri/bvecs mv -f /volumes/mybook/Anri/diffusion_tutorial/HC_025/dmri/dwi_orig_flip.mghdti.bvals /volumes/mybook/Anri/diffusion_tutorial/HC_025/dmri/bvals mv: rename /volumes/mybook/Anri/diffusion_tutorial/HC_025/dmri/dwi_orig_flip.mghdti.bvals to /volumes/mybook/Anri/diffusion_tutorial/HC_025/dmri/bvals: No such file or directory Many thanks for your help.

Polar angle wedge default position
by Jackie Lam 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Hello all, In Freesurfer’s analysis of retinotopy data, what is the phase assigned by freesurfer to the very beginning of the stimulation paradigm? I would assume that it should be 0, but it would be good to verify. Then, how do the phases proceed after the beginning? To negative values or positive values? In general, which phase values are assigned to a full cycle of the stimulation paradigm (start, 1/4cycle, 1/2 cycle and 3/4 cycle)? Thanks
