Hello, I would like to conduct an analysis using mri_glmfit but I'm getting this error: ERROR: matrix is ill-conditioned or badly scaled, condno = 1e+08 My command was: mri_glmfit --y lh.area.fwhm10.fsaverage.mgh --fsgd finalgroupanalysis.fsgd dods --C group_effect.mtx --surf fsaverage lh --cortex --glmdir lh.surfacearea.glmdir My FSGD file is attached. It contains 3 classes and 1 variable (age). And my design matrix is 1 -1 0 0 0 0 1 0 -1 0 0 0 Please help! Thank you for your time, Wanda -- Wanda Truong, MSc

Re: [Freesurfer] project locations from template to individual MRIs
by Douglas N Greve 11 Mar '14

what template? When discussing coordinate systems you have to be very specific. A template could be a volume template or a surface template. If a volume template it could be MNI305 or MNI152. If MNI152 it could be the 1mm version or the 2mm version. All of these things are important and the questions cannot be answered without these details. doug On 03/11/2014 12:42 PM, peng wrote: > Thanks Doug, I will read the document.

Tracula multiple subjects error
by Sarah Banducci 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hello- I'm having a consistent problem running multiple subjects through tracula. I am able to run single subjects through all steps but whenever I try to run it on multiple subjects I get the same error about a syntax error and one of the items it wants to copy being a directory so its not being copied. I can't figure out what in my configuration file is incorrect. I'm attaching the configuration file to this email. I'm only trying to get the first few steps done at the moment so command I run is: trac-all -corr -qa -intra -inter -masks -c Tracula_config And it outputs this: *set: Syntax Error.* INFO: SUBJECTS_DIR is /Volumes/KramerLab/Projects/HealthAging/FAST/Freesurfer/v5.3 INFO: Diffusion root is /Volumes/KramerLab/Users/banducc2/TraculaResult/Tracula_031014 Actual FREESURFER_HOME /Applications/freesurfer trac-preproc -c /Volumes/KramerLab/Users/banducc2/TraculaResult/Tracula_031014/F109_1/scripts/dmrirc.local -log /Volumes/KramerLab/Users/banducc2/TraculaResult/Tracula_031014/F109_1/scripts/trac-all.log -cmd /Volumes/KramerLab/Users/banducc2/TraculaResult/Tracula_031014/F109_1/scripts/trac-all.cmd #------------------------------------- /Applications/freesurfer/bin/trac-preproc #------------------------------------- #@# Image corrections Tue Mar 11 10:08:12 CDT 2014 mri_convert /Volumes/KramerLab/Users/banducc2/forTracula/DTI/F109_1/data.nii.gz /Volumes/KramerLab/Users/banducc2/TraculaResult/Tracula_031014/F109_1/dmri/dwi_orig.nii.gz mri_convert /Volumes/KramerLab/Users/banducc2/forTracula/DTI/F109_1/data.nii.gz /Volumes/KramerLab/Users/banducc2/TraculaResult/Tracula_031014/F109_1/dmri/dwi_orig.nii.gz $Id: mri_convert.c,v 1.179.2.7 2012/09/05 21:55:16 mreuter Exp $ reading from /Volumes/KramerLab/Users/banducc2/forTracula/DTI/F109_1/data.nii.gz...

Warping a significance map to MNI space
by Thomas Allan 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hi I have proceed my data and produced a significance map across all my subjects and this looks fine on the fsaverage inflated brain. To compare to some other results, I really need to wrap this map into standard MNI152 space. To do this, I have used the following commands but with a problem at the end: 1. mri_surf2vol -sig.mgh -identity fsaverage -template ./fsaverage/mri/T1.mgz -hemi lh -o SIG.fsspace.mgz 2. mri_vol2vol -mov SIG.fsspace.mgz -targ /$FSL_DIR$/data/standard/MNI152_T1_2mm.nii.gz -o SIG_MNI.nii -interp nearest -reg /$FS_DIR$/average/mni152.register.dat So the first step works fine and looking at it using tkmedit shows the surfer as a nice volume in the right place on the T1.mgz or brainmask.mgz for the average brain. After step 2, looking at the final MNI space file, it appears that is has been rotated 180 degrees through the transverse plane (left and right are correct but top and bottom have been flipped and so have anterior and posterior) and the map has also translated. All of the dimensions are correct but the 2 images do not line up. I can easily rotate the image so that all the axis agree with the normal image but then the map is quite a few slices too high compared to the MNI152 brain and I cannot be certain how far it has been shifted. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tom

primary auditory cortex ROI
by Ritobrato Datta 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hi All, I need to demarcate primary auditory cortex in a group of subjects anatomically and I came across the following papers - https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/ftp/articles/2013/2013_-_Wasserthal_et_a… https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/ftp/articles/Sigalovsky_et_al_2006.pdf Is there a script that I can use on my 3T MPRAGE images to get primary auditory cortex ROI ? That will be very helpful. Best, Ri

Brain Segmentation blurred at the interhemisphere surface
by Kaiming Yin 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hi FreeSurfer guys, Just want to ask a quick question. So I have been using freesurfer on the analyses on my brain- however I have noticed in certain parts, there hasn't been any segmentations. I have attached a picture, to show what I mean. Is there a reason for this? The blurry part kind of sweeps across the whole brain. Is there anything then, that I can do in freesurfer to still allow it to calculate the segmentation? Many thanks, Kaiming

applying Yeo atlas to individual brains
by Jeff Eriksen 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

Our lab has a need to apply the Yeo atlas to individual brains. As I understand it, Yeo atlas is only currently available for the FSAverage brain. Any plans to incorporate Yeo on to the default FS segmentation, or have it available as an option? -Jeff Eriksen

Re: [Freesurfer] applying Yeo atlas to individual brains

problem with surf2surf is it deals with scalar fields ( data ) so don't think that will do it. problem with label2label is that it deals with a single label which has a diferent structure than anot. so a way to do it 1. mri_annotation2label ... to convert the yeo anotation file to individual labels 2. mri_label2label ... to map each label from the fsaverage space to the individual subject space 3. then the function that takes the labels on the individual subject space and makes a .annot of it in indiv. subject space. you will need to supply a colormap table to, don't remember the name ( google freesurfer make annotation file, or something like that) seems like a lot of work but just make a little script and you only need to figure it out once. if any problems i could dig in my notes, i did not find one function to map a .annot in 1one space to a .annot in another. gref On 03/10/14, Thomas Yeo wrote: > Hi Jeff, > > I am a little unsure myself since I usually work with data mapped to > fsaverage space.
