Mac intel - OSX tiger installation
by Seán Froudist Walsh 12 Mar '11

12 Mar '11

Hi Freesurfer group, I would like to know if it is possible for me to download FreeSurfer on my Intel based Mac with OSX Tiger (10.4.11)? I have been unable to update to Leopard/Snow Leopard due to a problem with the super-drive so that is not currently an option for me. Many thanks in advance All the best, Seán

If you re-run mris_preproc does the same thing happen?

multimodality registration problem
by Jing Ming 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hi surfers: I would like to project some fMRI data into fsaverage surface. And the fMRI result is registered into AFNI template, which is talariach template. I wonder how can I register this fMRI result into fsaverage template. The mri_vol2surf need a register.dat, between moving data and anatomical data, and requires this anatomaical data processed by freesurfer. So, that means, I need to run recon-all to AFNI talariach template? Thanks much for your help! Jing

CUDA error in file 'devicemanagement.cu'
by Rojas, Don 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hi, I'm having a problem similar to those that some others have posted previously on the list, but I did not see a clear resolution posted and I have tried the suggestions as far as I could follow them. The error message is: Acquiring CUDA device Using default device CUDA Error in file 'devicemanagement.cu' on line 46 : invalid argument. Linux meggpu 2.6.32-29-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 11 20:52:10 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux The output of cudadetect is as follows: Detecting CUDA...

I also downloaded what I think are the latest freesurfer cuda binaries, but there was no difference in behavior between those and the distribution. Anyone have additional ideas for me to try? Thanks in advance, Don Rojas

extracting thickness values from group level map
by Beth Mormino 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hi Surfers! I have done a group level analysis relating a variable to thickness values. I have a sig.mgh file that shows the relationship between the variable and thickness at each vertex. Now I would like to threshold the sig.mgh file (at values of 3 and above), and then extract an average thickness value across this entire mask for all my subjects. I have been able to convert the sig.mgh to an annotation using mri_surfcluster, but this file contains multiple clusters when all I'd like is 1 mask. Once I get to this step, I assume there is a way to then extract thickness values using the thickness.mgh file originally fed into mri_glmfit, but can't seem to get this to work with mri_segstats. My solution has been moving the annotation back into each subject's space with mri_surf2surf, but this seems like a very round-about way of completing this analysis. Thanks in advance! Beth

Newbie - Group analysis on a single session with multiple runs.
by Shay Ohayon 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hi All, We are trying to speed things up in our functional analysis pipeline, and I wanted to consult with the experts here about the following suggestion... At the moment, we typically collect multiple runs per subject (say, 10-20). We usually then run pre-processing on each run, and then do first-order analysis on all available runs. This step is obviously a bottleneck because all runs need to be loaded to memory and the analysis takes a long time. As an alternative, we were thinking about doing 1st order analysis on each individual run, and then combine them somehow using 2nd order group analysis. My silly questions are: 1. Does this workflow make sense? 2. How should we go about and do this? My initial thought was to use mri_glmfit, and to build a 4D volume that will contain the beta's of interest from each individual 1st order analysis. Thanks, -- Shay

Small voxel size
by Tricia Merkley 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hello, One of our subjects was scanned with (0.7,0.7,0.8) mm voxel size, although all other acquisition parameters were the same as the other subjects. I'm wondering to what extent this might affect the results of the subcortical segmentation, cortical thickness measurements, etc., as compared to 1mm cubic voxels. When would it be appropriate to use the '-cm' flag for mri_convert? Thanks, Tricia Merkley
