Freesurfer v. 7.3.2 careg error
by Simon Jones 13 Mar '23

13 Mar '23

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer Support, Under older versions of Freesurfer such as 7.2.0 I can split recon-all into two stages: recon-all -autorecon1 -noskullstrip -s sub -i sub.nii.gz Manually create brainmask.mgz recon-all -autorecon2 -autorecon3 -s sub Using freesurfer v. 7.3.2 this fails. I looked at the log file and in the -autorecon2 stage the steps go straight from mri_ca_normalize to mri_ca_label missing out mri_ca_register so no transforms/talairach.m3z file is created. I modified the second part to recon-all -autorecon2 -autorecon3 -careg -s sub and then it completed without error. Maybe this is intentional and there is another recommended way to do this multistage pipeline. Thanks, Simon

12 Mar '23

External Email - Use Caution Dear all, The Headache and Orofacial Pain Effort (H.O.P.E.) Lab at the University of Michigan requests applications for a postdoctoral position to work on migraine, fibromyalgia, and TMD research programs funded mainly by the National Institute of Health. The programs use novel methodologies in neuroimaging and neuromodulation to investigate and target central mechanisms of chronic pain in vivo. Extensive knowledge of neuroimaging analysis software systems as well as programming experience is required, as is some level of comfort with novel neuromodulatory protocols. Previous research experience and publications with positron emission tomography (PET) and/or MRI-based neuroimaging methods and analyses are also needed. We are seeking applicants with advanced degrees and strong self-motivation to work in a highly creative, altruistic, and mentoring environment with students and residents from different departments across campus. The applicant will be exposed to several tech innovations, many developed in-house, for clinical translational pain research (e.g., migraine, TMD, dental and cancer pain), such as mobile technology, multimodal neuroimaging (PET, MRI, fNIRS, EEG) and neuromodulation montages (TMS and [HD]-tDCS).

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer team, I am trying to run recon-all -all in the cluster but unfortunately I am unable to obtain the parcellated images (exact command is recon-all -parallel -openmp $NSLOTS -s ${j} -i ${j}_corrected.nii.gz -all -cw256) I have run the script different times with different subjects and it just stops abruptly always in the same point, after WM segmentation, see below the recon-all-status.log for one subject (same in all of them, it stops after WM segmentation) I tried it on my laptop and in my desktop computer and it works, but not in the cluster...

Re: [Freesurfer] Segmentation fault (core dumped)
by fsbuild 09 Mar '23

External Email - Use Caution As Yujing said, the 5.1.0 release is quite old (dating back to CentOS4) and binary backwards compatibility cannot be expected to work indefinitely going forwards to newer versions of the OS.  I ran a simple mri_surf2surf command from 5.1.0 on CentOS7 and it crashed immediately.    I then tried the same command using the freesurfer 5.3.0 release built for CentOS6 and it worked on CentOS7. You can download freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.3.0.tar.gz from https://secure-web.cisco.com/1S9OGgcf17zFMWWXjC8lPSf7mq4hk6Ou69iX…, or see the direct link  https://secure-web.cisco.com/1O5P1_jnLPrOGdYkXFNDEb2y-k3m7evHo5fe2uNzyoNAaKSkB3Nt1_wXhgDLemrYevJFPQsp5tpz_wdWUjWhVTD9p6CNaNieHzYFY7XvcOkTsvaaxQ14203xL-zEAR2Eav2sKtvuxzucTJqIFKJcJxwO4tU1LWxZbL8HSzpbAx4gHo4SUez6Lwz1bZarwjhy7YEdn5NslhRbXzeF8MIl4YiwsVYH1XGmK-teHPP1FTJiVcnLV6oEDyz9jwP0uUf5tP9RGIWsdKBnItP4JbrHc-fZumOroSi_i6GuKCOsp-IouIjFOvOowWaI6ldL4IOMcIeaqNW-BG-wO4CN5ByZFrg/https%3A%2F%2Fftp.nmr..mgh.harvard.edu%2Fpub%2Fdist%2Ffreesurfer%2F5.3.0%2Ffreesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.3.0.tar.gz%26nbsp;  The 5.3.0 release notes are here, https://secure-web.cisco.com/19Gm_LLMuws0ked03zCf5tnQ6jPznJWqxPj… Please be aware we post this caveat on our download page saying that numeric/floating point results can differ when you switch to a different freesurfer release or newer version of the OS, Important Note: When processing a group of subjects for your study, it is essential to process all your subjects with the same version of FreeSurfer, on the same OS platform and vendor, and for safety, even the same version of the OS. While we continue to work to ensure that results match across platforms, there are none-the-less system-level libraries that are OS dependent. An exception to this rule is that you may view and edit files across any platform or version, and run some post-processing tools (outside the recon-all stream) if you check with us first (for instance you may run the longitudinal processing with newer versions). I would expect the above to be true if you switch from the 5.1.0 release to the 5.3.0 release. So if you must continue to run 5.1.0, then I would try to run it on the (same) version of the OS you used where it previously worked.  One way to do that is with a virtual machine (VM) hosting the (old) OS.   It looks like we have a virtual machine image with freesurfer 5.1.0 installed available from under https://secure-web.cisco.com/11VzvQh0Sbki3c91H_Wr1_Sbun-1WBJp0X7…;  That virtual disk image file (..vdi), https://secure-web.cisco.com/1f9gnsQF3U_bgE7wRs0_PPUaeSlPgrJxG-afglho7qOnEI6IK3x6Q74lVczCqUz814qnE3gT4GO-FHPsn6fv4NwsG7SMQykR-ghIZUMdjGSmckggj6M5NAUe9S37AMJzV215rTC59h7VmVa-paqybjKPfVK-VAtQ2oUwks-053E4KC89mt53wvYjRuyAhnLrA0JFdOGOuMo-8KrX_ENyyGH2zzQJtiTEGmBnnMpKIGFw9QCAfWRqmgMi_BDHy7lmAxYnWCVd_XdH1VJ1HqLhBIonwjm5X2caNf1OTebriIZfm2h5IupSjvLGZMRF43ej87-9ybXcYkIZ6L_qBDq_D-A/https%3A%2F%2Fftp.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu%2Fpub%2Fdist%2Ffreesurfer%2F5.1.0%2Ffreesurfer-Virtualbox-linux-x86-stable-pub-v5.1.0-full.vdi,  should still run in virtual box on your CentOS7 machine.   My guess would be it is a CentOS4 VM image with freesurfer 5.1.0 installed but I don’t know how that matches up to any previous version of the OS you used to successfully run freesurfer 5.1.0. - R.
