Re: [Freesurfer] homologous left and right roi
by Prapti Gautam 15 Apr '11

Hi, I want to copy a label I've created on a region on the left hemisphere to the right (or vice versa) and was wondering if there has been any progress on the tools avaialable. Is there perhaps a beta version of the functionality that could be used? Thanks, Prapti ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.

autostimdur vs noautostimdur
by Katie Bettencourt 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

I'm a bit confused about what the -autostimdur and -noautostimdur flags in mkanalysis-sess do. I've checked the help files, but the wording is a bit confusing, and when I run them on my event related design, I get different results depending on which flag I use, with the -noautostimdur being more of what I expect as far as results go. Also, they are only used in event related and AB designs, not blocked, correct? Katie

Is there a way to extract sulcal depth statistics for a group of subjects using a function like aparcstats2table for mean curve, thickness, volume, etc.? Thanks, Heather

FreeSurfer ver 4.0 vs 5.0
by Keefe, Helen L 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Hello Bruce and All, Here are some new questions to an ongoing issue. 1. What are advantages of version 5.0 over the former version? I have processed 82 scans so far in the former version and am debating whether to re-run them all in 5.0. We will eventually have a total of 560 scans, so we need to decide soon. 2. In version 5.0, when I run tksurfer $i lh pial -annotation aparc the corpus callossum is labeled as "none". Is there a way to have it be labeled correctly as itself in ver 5?

failing recon-all with freesurfer v5.0
by Saad Ramadan 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Hi, I have upgraded to v5.0 assuming that I'll be in a better shape now. I issued this command: nohup recon-all -s ../NanditaGoodDataSetSubject5.0_run2 -i ./t1_svs.nii -autorecon-all & which failed after a while . I used nohup so that I can close shell with terminating the calculation. The tail of recon-all.log is show below (in red ). I do assume that I have no RAM problems as this computer is dedicated for such calculations. Any hint pls?

mkanalysis.sess versus mkanalysis.sess.new
by Maryam Vaziri Pashkam 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Hi Everyone, Two beginner question again. 1. What is the difference between mkanalysis-sess and mkanalysis-sess.new? which one should be preferably used and why? 2. What is the best way to exclude trials from the analysis: a) in the paradigm file define them as a separate condition and this way include them in the GLM analysis and later on ignore them in the contrast analysis? b) exclude the time points of that trial in the tpexclude.dat using the tpexclude flag? c) another way that I have not thought of? Thanks, Maryam

high resolution segmentation
by Jonathan A Winawer 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

I recently started using freesurfer for gray-white segmentation with great success. However, I have had one problem I cannot solve myself: I have been unable to create a ribbon file at the native resolution of my T1 scans (0.7 mm isotropic voxels), and I am puzzled by the result. My strategy was as follows: 1. standard recon all (this works nicely) 2. resample aseg.mgz to match the slicing of rawavg.mgz 3. create new ribbon file using mris_volmask The standard recon at 1x1x1 mm resolution produces a nice ribbon file: http://white.stanford.edu/~winawer/brain/2011/axial_ribbon_1mm.tiff The hires recon after steps 2 and 3 above fails: http://white.stanford.edu/~winawer/brain/2011/axial_ribbon_hires.tiff If anyone knows why this is, I would greatly appreciate the help. For details, see below. Many thanks, Jon The hires t1 I started with is here: http://white.stanford.edu/~winawer/brain/2011/t1.nii.gz and the code I used for the initial recon and the creation of the new ribbon is here: # give the subject a name subj=homer # recon all using hires t1 (0.7 mm isotropic voxels) recon-all -i ~/t1.nii.gz -all -subjid $subj -all # define the working directory d=$SUBJECTS_DIR/$subj/mri # back up original ribbon and aseg files mkdir $d/1mm; mv $d/*ribbon* $d/aseg.mgz -t $d/1mm ## Create Hi-Res Ribbon##################### # reslice the aseg file to the size and resolution of rawavg mri_convert $d/1mm/aseg.mgz -o $d/aseg.mgz --reslice_like $d/rawavg.mgz --resample_type nearest # re-create surface at resolution of rawavg mris_volmask --label_left_white 2 --label_left_ribbon 3 --label_right_white 41 --label_right_ribbon 42 --save_ribbon --save_distance $subj ##################################### # back up high-res files mkdir $d/hires; cp $d/*ribbon* $d/aseg.mgz $d/hires/ # Compare the two ribbon files.

Re: [Freesurfer] creating labels in tksurfer
by Ilana Hairston 14 Apr '11

Thanks Bruce, It seems there are some display bugs on the server running freesurfer. In addition to the vanishing label (the label option was on), the scatter plots were messed up. After transferring the data to a different server it seems to be ok. Not sure what the issue is. ilana ______________________ If you can't be kind, be vague •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Sent from my iPhone On Apr 4, 2011, at 10:23, Bruce Fischl <fischl(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> wrote: > Hi Ilana, > > it looks fine to me.

?h.aparc.stats file question
by Tetiana Dadakova 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Dear list, I was trying to find the values of volumes for different cortical regions. What I found is the 4th column (called GrayVol) in ?h.aparc.stats file. Although, the values don't really seem to be what I look for, as values are too small (e.g. 0.5 mm^3 for cuneus). Could you please guide me where I should look for these values, or probably how should I interpret the values in ?h.aparc.stats file. Thank you, Tanja.
