freeview segmentation fault
by Mark D. Strohm 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hello- We’re having a problem with our Freesurfer 5.3 install: freeview exits with a Segmentation fault. No windows open, and there is no other other output. strohm::funcserv1:=>freeview Segmentation fault All I have been able to find is that it appears to be making an inappropriate ioctl call to the freeview script. This is freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.3.0 on openSUSE 12.3. Any help would be appreciated Thank you. -Mark- 8011 open("/space/raid/fmri/freesurfer/bin/freeview", O_RDONLY) = 3 8011 dup2(3, 16) = 16 8011 close(3) = 0 8011 read(16, "#!/bin/tcsh -ef\nsource $FREESURFER_HOME/bin/tcl_setup\nsource $FREESURFER_HOME/bin/vtk_setup\nsource $FREESURFER_HOME/bin/qt_setup\nif($#argv > 0) then\n if(\"$argv[1]\" == \"-tkmedit\") then\n tkmeditfv $argv[2-$#argv]\n exit 0\n endif\nendif\nfreeview.bin $argv\n", 8192) = 259 8011 lseek(16, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 259 8011 ioctl(16, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_NEXT_DEVICE or TCGETS, 0x7fffe2b9a2f0) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) […] 8011 ioctl(16, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_NEXT_DEVICE or TCGETS, 0x7fffe2b9a480) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) 8011 write(17, "Segmentation fault\n", 19) = 19 8011 exit_group(139) = ? 8011 +++ exited with 139 +++ -- Mark D.

distance comparisons across subjects in fsaverage group sphere
by Milde, Christopher 13 May '14

13 May '14

Dear Freesurfers, In Fischl et al. 1999 it is highlighted, that the topological structure of the original surface is preserved in the spherical space and due to the nature of a sphere, computations (distance, area) measures are easy to make. My question now, concerns the comparability of distance measures between subjects in the group fsaverage sphere. My aim is to compare distances between peak voxels coordinates of two study populations, to figure out if a systematic difference exist between the peak voxel distances of the two study populations. Can I compare the distances between peak voxels (vertices) between different subjects based on the fsaverage group sphere? So, is the comparability of distances between vertexes of individually spheres preserved in group fsaverage space? Ps: I know that the distances in spherical space are not Euclidian but still geodesic Best wishes and thanks in advance, Christopher Milde, M.Sc. Biol.

Freeview/Freesurfer Version Compatibility
by Sarah Blankenship 13 May '14

13 May '14

During the Spring Freesurfer workshop the newest version of Freeview was used as the primary viewing tool. Are there compatibility issues with using the newest version of Freeview while running analyses in an older version of Freesurfer (v5.1.0)? That is, if you run recon-all through v5.1.0, can you view and make manual edits using the newest release of Freeview (11 May 2014 build) or should you only use the Freeview build that is specific to your Freesurfer version (22 May 2011 build for 5.1.0)? Thank you, Sarah Blankenship Graduate Research Assistant Neuroscience and Cognitive Science Program University of Maryland, College Park

Re: [Freesurfer] nonlinear models in longitudinal analysis

Hi Martin, Thanks for your reply. I'm not entirely sure what you mean (sorry - I'm new to this!). Do you mean something like this? For examining an increase between timepoint 1 and 2, but the same between timepoint 2 and 3? fsid fsid-base years years-to-years Day1 base 0 0.4 Day2 base 0.4 0.4 Day3 base 0.8 0 All the best, Jodie Message: 6 Date: Fri, 09 May 2014 16:52:25 -0400 From: Martin Reuter <mreuter(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] nonlinear models in longitudinal analysis To: freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Message-ID: <536D4009.7030907(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi Jodie, 'years' should contain the real time between time points (usually, unless you have test-retest where time is irrelevant, or different task that can be ordered as you like). For what you are trying to do you should use linear mixed effects models with a piecewise linear setup. This will allow you to estimate a slope before and after timepoint 2 and compare those slopes. Your design matrix would probably have the column of 1, years and a column with years-years(at tp2 of that subject) if that value is positive 0 otherwise Testing if the coef of the 3rd column is > 0 is asking if the slope increases in the second interval. Not exactly what you want, but close and of course you can test if the slope in interval 1 is different from zero (second column) and if the slope in interval 2 is different from zero ( 0 1 1, ie the sum of the last two columns).

Hi Douglas, I don’t receive any emails from anyone, I only receive the the digest which is what I “reply” to. So I am not sure what you mean by “try responding to the email that I sent.” This is why I attempted to email you directly as I thought that is what you were asking for. I hope to have straightened things out by finding each part of our conversation and pasting them below (in reverse order). If you have further questions, please let me know.

Subcortical volume calculation from aparc+aseg.mgz?
by Schreiber, Stefanie 13 May '14

13 May '14

Dear all, For the evaluation of the subcortical volumes we executed ‘mri_segstats’ on ‘aseg.mgz’ and for comparison on ‘aparc+aseg.mgz’ in a number of individuals. Apparently the volume of subcortical structures, like the hippocampus, is calculated as the same values if calculated (without partial volume correction) from ‘aseg.mgz’ and ‘aparc+aseg.mgz’. However, when partial volume correction is applied, the resulting values for e.g. hippocampal volumes differ between the ‘mri_segstats’ calculation for ‘aseg.mgz’ and ‘aparc+aseg.mgz’. How could those differences resulting from the partial volume correction in these cases be explained? The command used to calculate the subcortical volumes with partial volume correction was: mri_segstats --seg ./mri/aparc+aseg.mgz --ctab $FREESURFER_HOME/FreeSurferColorLUT.txt --excludeid 0 --sum ./stats/my.test.stats --pv ./mri/norm.mgz Previously we have been using the subcortical volumes from ‘aseg.stats’, which, as I understand it, is generated by recon-all from ‘aseg.mgz’ via ‘mri_segstats’ (with partial volume correction). From your experience, would it be also valid to use subcortical volumes generated by applying ‘mri_segstats’ (with partial volume correction) on ‘aparc+aseg.mgz’, even though the resulting values might differ from the values in aseg.stats? Thank you very much in advance, Steffi Schreiber

Fwd: extracting rois for connectivity analysis

Dear Freesurfer's I draw a roi to extract the cortical thickness for my two groups and that worked fine. Now I'm trying to export the very same roi to use it for further connectivity analysis. Can anyone please help me and tell me how to do it? Thanks in advance!! :-) Cheers Jutta

Dear Greve Thank you for your reply I want to use surf2vol to get volume files of gray thickness.And the --volreg Contains the matrix that maps XYZ in the reference anatomical to XYZ in the functional volume. So I use bbregister.Why I need not invert the BBR registration matrix with surf2vol?I mean , the BBR registration matrix is functional to anatomial volume,the surf2vol need anatomical to XYZ And I use bbregister --s sub1 --mov /sub1/mri/orig.nii --init-fsl --reg/sub1/register.dat --t1;mri_surf2vol --surfval /sub1/surf/lh.thickness.fwhm0.fsaverage.mgh --hemi lh --surf pialfs --volreg /sub1/register.dat --outvol ./ --template /sub1/mri/orig.nii the resluts are 256 volumes.Why this happen?Should the voulme be 1 file?

Quesion about lobar volumes
by pfotiad＠nmr.mgh.harvard.edu 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hi FS Community, I created a lobes annotation file with the --lobesStrict flag of the mri_annotation2label and then converted it to a volume with the mri_label2vol command and the --annot flag. However, the resulting volume is just overlapping on top of the white surface, and not on the whole cortex. Is there a way to create a volume for the lobes that covers the whole cerebral cortex? That is a volume that shows you which part of the cerebral cortex belongs to each of the 6 lobes individually? Thank you in advance, Panos
