Dear list, I am having the following memory allocation problem when running mri_surf2surf. Can't find any mention of this error on the list or the internet - sorry if I've missed anything. mri_surf2surf --cortex --fwhm 5.0000 --hemi lh --sval /home/jdg45/lh.pial_converted.mgz --tval /home/jdg45/CBU070282_smoother_surf.mgz --s CBU070282 Standard output: srcsubject = CBU070282 srcval = /home/jdg45/lh.pial_converted.mgz srctype = trgsubject = CBU070282 trgval = /home/jdg45/CBU070282_smoother_surf.mgz trgtype = srcsurfreg = sphere.reg trgsurfreg = sphere.reg srchemi = lh trghemi = lh frame = 0 fwhm-in = 0 fwhm-out = 5 label-src = (null) label-trg = lh.cortex.label OKToRevFaceOrder = 1 Reading source surface reg /work/imaging5/Freesurfer/CBU070282/surf/lh.sphere.reg Loading source data Standard error: MRIalloc: could not allocate 2032167524 slices Cannot allocate memory Return code: 254 Any suggestions?

Re: [Freesurfer] Event-Related design and jitter in stimulus onset
by Douglas N Greve 09 Dec '11

By default, optseq uses an internal clock synchronize to the TR (so events can only start on the TR). This can be changed by setting dPSD (eg, to 1). This would allow the NULL events to be multiples of 1 instead of 2. The PSD is specified in seconds. doug SHAHIN NASR wrote: > optseq2 --ntp 132 --tr 2 --tsearch 0.5 --ev C1 6 4 --ev C2 6 4 --ev C3 > 6 4 --ev C4 6 4 --ev C5 6 4 --ev C6 6 4 --ev C7 6 4 --ev C8 6 4 --ev > C9 6 4 --ev C10 6 4 --nkeep 10 --psdwin 10 16 --o Opt_Par_2nd > > > On Fri, Dec 9, 2011 at 2:03 PM, Douglas N Greve > <greve(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu <mailto:greve@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu>> wrote: > > What is your command line? > > > SHAHIN NASR wrote: > > Thanks Doug. > In my experiment, each trial (event) consists of 1 sec > stimulus presentation and 5 sec blank interval (TR=2).

Re: [Freesurfer] mri_glmfit search space = 0
by Douglas N Greve 09 Dec '11

What are these asc files? Is this the input that you are having qdec load? If so, then there is at least one subject that has a 0 value at each vertex. The other 187 subjects may be non-zero. doug KYLE ROLLINS HANSEN wrote: > Doug- > Thank you for your response. The data set did not change between the two analyses. They both used the loading of the exact same .dat file. I think the error is in setting up and creating the new measures, and something went wrong in the process of creating the new measure entitled middle45.asc while it was done correctly for middle30.asc. That measurement is the only difference between the two analyses. Which file does mri_glmfit read in the case of creating a new measure? When I pull up the new measurement .asc files they look identical and don't have zero values for most of the values. Is there a different file the mri_glmfit command is running that would have those zeros in it? > Kyle Hansen > University of Utah > kyle.rollins.hansen(a)utah.edu > ________________________________________ > From: Douglas N Greve [greve(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu] > Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 10:46 AM > To: KYLE ROLLINS HANSEN; freesurfer > Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] mri_glmfit search space = 0 > > Sorry, hit the send before I was ready.

However, the error arises for me while running a collection of brains through qdec, so I have not been running the script directly in order to simply add the --no-prune tag. I am running the qdec analysis on new measurements created specifically for analysis in our lab. Someone prior to me set up everything for the qdec analysis to work fine with another database, and was halfway through another brain database when I picked up. For this database, the prior person completed the measurement entitled middle30.asc, which works fine. When using the same .dat file for the database, and the only difference is using the measure of middle45.asc, no data is mapped to the brains. In looking through the code, the same error appeared to happen in the mri_glmfit command in the same place. -qcache has been run for all of the brains for the new measurement, and the middle30.asc files appear similar in structure to the middle45.asc files, as would be expected. Why would it be pruning the one measurement and not the other? Where can I look to solve the issue to run the data in qdec to compare the measurements? If I just run mri_glmfit with --no-prune, will qdec read it in without overwriting it automatically? I have a feeling I missed something in preparing the new region that the person I took over for has done for the other measurements, but I'm not sure what it is or where to look for it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! >>> Below I have included the output for both measurements.

Event-Related design and jitter in stimulus onset
by SHAHIN NASR 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hi Surfers, It is my first experience with Event-related paradigms. In my experiment, trials take minimum 6s (TR=2s). I wonder what is the optimum variable delay between trials to be able to analyze data without any confound. Regards -- Shahin Nasr PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience Martinos Imaging Center, MGH Harvard Medical School

downsampling white matter surface and converting to .tri
by John Griffiths 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Dear FS peeps, I am trying to downsample a (white matter) surface with mri_surf2surf. I also want the output in .tri format. First problem is that mri_surf2surf doesn't let me output in .tri format mri_surf2surf --hemi lh --srcsubject subj1 --sval-xyz white --trgsubject subj1 --trgicoorder 4 --trgsurfval subj1_white_downsampled.tri --tfmt tri gives me ERROR: could not determine type of temp_surf_white.tri (that happens with the 'tfmt' flag or not) The command does work when the output is a .gii or .mgh file, but when I then try to convert those files to .tri format with mris_convert I get the error ERROR: MRISread: cannot read surface data from file subj1_white_downsampled.gii! ...which is also the error I get when trying to load the file into freeview as a surface. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? If there is a better way to convert lh.white into a downsampled .tri file please do tell. Thanks very much, john (p.s. thanks to Dan, Doug, and Bruce for getting me to this point...)

It would produce results (p-values, eg) for each of the contrasts.

Re: [Freesurfer] mri_glmfit search space = 0

Did the data set change between the two analyses? The KingLab wrote: > Hello Doug- > In going through the threads for freesurfer, I found the following which also describes the issue I am having. However, the error arises for me while running a collection of brains through qdec, so I have not been running the script directly in order to simply add the --no-prune tag. I am running the qdec analysis on new measurements created specifically for analysis in our lab. Someone prior to me set up everything for the qdec analysis to work fine with another database, and was halfway through another brain database when I picked up. For this database, the prior person completed the measurement entitled middle30.asc, which works fine. When using the same .dat file for the database, and the only difference is using the measure of middle45.asc, no data is mapped to the brains. In looking through the code, the same error appeared to happen in the mri_glmfit command in the same place. -qcache has been run for all of the brains for the new measurement, and the middle30.asc files appear similar in structure to the middle45.asc files, as would be expected. Why would it be pruning the one measurement and not the other? Where can I look to solve the issue to run the data in qdec to compare the measurements? If I just run mri_glmfit with --no-prune, will qdec read it in without overwriting it automatically? I have a feeling I missed something in preparing the new region that the person I took over for has done for the other measurements, but I'm not sure what it is or where to look for it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! > Below I have included the output for both measurements.

Probabilistic V1 labels to volume
by Ian Charest 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hi There was a post recently on the mailing list about exporting Probabilistic V1 labels to a volume. I have applied the probabilistic mapping of an individual subject and now have the "lh.v1.prob.label" I would like to convert this label as a volume, and the function mri_label2vol is a little bit confusing. One important thing here is that I don't want the created volume to be binary. but rather to keep the probabilities of a voxel being on V1. I have tried mri_label2vol --label lh.v1.prob.label --subject $SUBJECT --o lh.v1.prob.label I don't understand why I one should need a register.dat file here or even a template file, as I want to generate a volume in RAS space, from a label which I would think is also in RAS space. As for the template file, should it be orig.mgz? Any suggestions here would be appreciated! Regards Ian Charest

Re: [Freesurfer] mri_glmfit-sim error with v5.0
by Yuko Yotsumoto 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Thank you Doug, > Hi Yuko, I think you must have an older version of glmfit-sim some how. > I've put a newer version here: I replaced the /bin/mri_glmfit-sim, but got the same error. [ERROR 1] In line 292: set csdCache = $CacheDir/$subject/$hemi/$CacheLabel/fwhm$fwhmStr/$simsign/th$threshStr/mc-z.csd In stead of making csdCache = /Applications/freesurfer/average/mult-comp-cor/fsaverage/lh/cortex/fwhm15/pos/th30/mc-z.csd it did csdCache = /Applications/freesurfer/average/mult-comp-cor///cortex/fwhm15/pos/th30/mc-z.csd It looks like I failed to tell freesurfer that $subject=fsaverage and $hemi=lh. I changed this line to: set csdCache = $CacheDir/fsaverage/lh/$CacheLabel/fwhm$fwhmStr/$simsign/th$threshStr/mc-z.csd and this worked. But I still don't understand why I got the error with mri_glmfit-sim. [ERROR 2] In line 93, anattype is set to volume, but I'm doing surface analysis. set anattype = volume; Changing this to set anattype = surface; worked, but does this mean mri_glmfit-sim is specialized for volume analysis only? Is there a way to change this in the command line not in the original code?
