NFS v4 on CentOS 5.4 or Red Hat 6.2
by Garikoitz Lerma-Usabiaga 07 May '13

07 May '13

Hi FS experts, we have changed our file systems to NFS v4 and we found that FS cannot write to it (I mean, FS installed in an app server and subjects in the file system is not working). Last new I have is that FS in CentOS could read but not write and in Red Hat could not write or read. Is it a known problem? Is it something going on with FS or the problem is in our end? (the rest of the programs are working fine: FSL, Matlab...) Many thanks, Gari

Qdec analysis for only particular regions of interest?
by Klara Mareckova 07 May '13

07 May '13

Hello, I'm new to Freesurfer and I was wondering whether anybody could tell me what steps I need to do in Freesurfer in order to conduct the following analysis? I would like to know which sex differences in cortical thickness (subjects 12-18 years old) are present in the 12 year olds already. I've used qdec to calculate the main effect of sex in a) all participants (12-18) and b) in 12 year olds. Is there a way how to mask the 12-year olds' results with the whole group so that I can calculate which of the whole-group main effects are present before the age of 13? Thanks a lot for any suggestions, Klara

TrackVis "either end" command
by Chu, Catherine,M.D. 07 May '13

07 May '13

Dear Freesurfer/TrackVis experts, I am using the following command in a batchfile to identify tracks counts between dozens of preset ROIs. track_vis DATAPATHtob0.trk -roi DATAPATHTOROI1.nii -roi2 DATAPATHTOROI2.nii -o PATHTOOUTPUT.trk > OUTPUT.txt -nr', i, j, i, j, i, j Is there a line command I can use so that the tracks identified follow the rule "either end" in the ROIs instead of the default "any part"? Thank you! Cat

BBregister issue during autorecon3 with T2pial option (5.2.0 with updated beta binaries)
by Todd Thompson 06 May '13

06 May '13

Hi, all. I'm trying to refine my pial surfaces with a T2 (or, in this case, t2*) image and I'm running into an error inside bbregister/fslregister. I'm running the command: recon-all -s gf04 -3T -autorecon3 -T2pial -T2 /mindhive/gablab/fluid/Analysis/Nipype/flash/gf04/tissue_parameters/T2star.mgz and the recon process makes it to the point of #@# Refine Pial Surfs w/ T2/FLAIR when it runs: bbregister --s gf04 --mov /mindhive/gablab/fluid/Data/gf04/mri/orig/T2raw.mgz --lta /mindhive/gablab/fluid/Data/gf04/mri/transforms/T2raw.lta --init-fsl --T2 bbregister does some initial processing, then calls fslregister, like so: fslregister --s gf04 --mov /mindhive/gablab/fluid/Data/gf04/mri/transforms/tmp.bbregister.23921/template.nii --reg /mindhive/gablab/fluid/Data/gf04/mri/transforms/tmp.bbregister.23921/reg.init.dat --niters 1 --maxangle 90 --nobetmov --tmp /mindhive/gablab/fluid/Data/gf04/mri/transforms/tmp.bbregister.23921/fslregister --dof 6 --fsvol brainmask which immediately crashes with: /mindhive/gablab/fluid/Data/gf04 mri_convert ERROR: could not determine file for /mindhive/gablab/fluid/Data/gf04/mri/ERROR: /mindhive/gablab/fluid/Data/gf04/mri/transforms/tmp.bbregister.23921/fslregister/refvol.fslregister.nii And so on. running the fslregister command manually and changing "brainmask" to "brainmask.mgz" seems to fix the problem (after manually creating/filling the appropriate tmp directory, of course). Any thoughts? Thanks!

Pial surface errors
by Contarino Valeria 06 May '13

06 May '13

Dear Freesurfers, I usually get very satisfying results but in my last analysis I noticed some errors in a few subjects' pial surface (see attached example image). I really don't get how it failed in that way. What I know I can surely do is to manually modify the WM and run again the autorecon command. Could someone kindly advice me on how to avoid/solve the problem in a less time-consuming way? Thank you.

06 May '13

Sent on behalf of Thomas Grabowski, OHBM 2013, LOC Chair: Open Brain Mapping at the 1st HBM Hackathon: Open Brain Mapping in the Cloud ** OHBM 2013 is only six weeks away, bringing the brain mapping community to Seattle, a city at the forefront of open neuroscience and information technology. The Local Organizing Committee, the Allen Institute for Brain Science, and Amazon Web Services are excited for the opportunity to highlight these aspects of our field in the HBM Hackathon<http://humanbrainmapping.org/hackathon>, a meeting-long event integrated with and running parallel to the activity in the poster and exhibition space. Our goals are to accelerate the development of a critical mass of cloud-based data, analytic, and computational resources for human brain mapping, and to provide OHBM attendees with access to and knowledge about them. The event is being supported by a broad spectrum of partners from the open neuroimaging community, making it possible to allow an unprecedented degree of access to key resources in the field, including the Allen Human Brain Atlas, the first data release of the Human Connectome Project, the NITRC Computational Environment, and more. Experts from the Allen Institute, Amazon Web Services, Human Connectome Project, NITRC, INCF, LONI, NDAR, BIRN, and others will bring their expertise on-venue. Register for the HBM Hackathon <http://humanbrainmapping.org/hackathon> to participate in a contest organized around three challenges, to tinker less formally, or just to be open to open neuroscience. You’ll also receive $100 in free AWS credits to make use of cloud computing technologies. The contest is organized around three Challenges: ** Challenge 1. Best imaging and gene expression relationship discovered via integration of imaging data with the Allen Human Brain Atlas. ** Challenge 2. Best cortical neural systems relationship or visualization based on integration of resting state fMRI data with other HBM Hackathon accessible datasets. ** Challenge 3. To be announced the week of the meeting and pursued completely on site. *See the list of datasets <http://ohbm-seattle.github.io/datasets>* ** Winning entries in each category receive: * - An invitation to submit project to Frontiers in Brain Imaging Methods with Open Access Publication Fees waived (must undergo standard peer review) - Amazon Kindle Fire and/or Paperwhite (limit 3 per team) - AWS hosts AMI and/or data resulting from the hackathon free of charge - Free GitHub Membership with private repositories (Challenge 1: one year silver, Challenge 2: 1 year bronze, Challenge 3: six months bronze) * ** To learn more, visit the HBM Hackathon Blog <http://ohbm-seattle.github.io/>or join the discussion group <http://www.linkedin.com/groups/HBM-Hackathon-4957800>.

Hi Bruce, thank for new 5.3. I'm finishing tracula analyis with 5.2 (I only have a subject that give me some problem). Do you advice me to cancel my analysis and re-run it by new version 5.3? Is the results obtained with version 5.2 reliable?

Re: [Freesurfer] question about glm setup

Hello Dr. Greve, Thank you for your reply. I have set up the qdec. I have gender as the discrete factor and age and clinical score as continuous factors. In order to look at the relationship between clinical score and whole brain cortical thickness while accounting for age and gender effects, do I select score as the continuous factor and age as the nuisance factor or should it be the other way round ?

I want to run a glm to investigate whether if there is a relation between the clinical score for each subject and their cortical thickness while accounting for age, gender and whole brain average thickness. Can I use qdec for this ? This is my first time doing this sort of analysis, so I will be grateful if I can get some step-by-step help.
