Comparing results of independent experiments
by Shahin 01 Aug '10

01 Aug '10

Hi Doug and freesurfers, My subjects have participated in two independent experiments within two different sessions (e.g. experiment 1 in day 1 and experiment 2 in day 2). Now I want to see if the contrast between conditions of experiment 1 and 2 is significant or not. For instance I want to compare condition_1 of experiment_1 with condition_2 of experiment_2. How should I do that? Actually I want to see the contrast map and then apply ROI-based (fun2roi) analysis. Thanks for your helpShahin Nasr PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience Martinos Imaging Center, MGH Harvard Medical School

Cerebellar hurdle

Is there any way I can recon-all for images that have cerebellum missing? These fail repeatedly at talairach, no-talcheck flag doesn¹t help Cheers thanks _______________________________________________________ Lena Palaniyappan Clinical Lecturer & Honorary StR | Division of Psychiatry ( University of Nottingham) South Block 'A' floor| Queens Medical Centre | Nottingham | NG7 2UH This message has been checked for viruses but the contents of an attachment may still contain software viruses which could damage your computer system: you are advised to perform your own checks.

tkmedit scripting question
by Sebastian Moeller 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Aloha fellow surfers, I am trying to script a few steps of my freesurfer pipeline. At the moment I am facing the problem that all my brainmasks need some manual intervention. Following advice from the wiki I try to set up tkmedit to clone from the aux to the main volume on the pressing button 3. Now my question how do I configure Button 3 from a tcl script so that my users do not have to do this manually every time? I would expect something like SetBrushInfo that takes more arguments than just brush, low, high, new, but my tcl-foo is very weak. If someone has a pointer how to set Button 3 to clone from aux vol I would be happy to hear it. Thanks in advance.

more thinner parcelation borders
by Gonzalo Rojas Costa 30 Jul '10

Hi: I change the color palette of the parcelation borders to white... But, I need thinner parcelation borders... can I change that parameter ?... Or could I specify a transparency factor for the borders ?... Sincerely, Gonzalo Rojas Costa

[fsfast]: temporal overlap of stimuli and concurrent presentation
by Sebastian Moeller 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Dear fellow Surfers, is it possible to model several independent event streams for fs-fast? That is, using the 5 column paradigm file, is it okay to have different condition ID codes that have identical stimulus onset time (well only some of the time)? Or would I have to model that by specifying a TER and have both staggered around the real onset time? I would be happy to receive any pointer. Thanks in advance & best regards Sebastian -- Sebastian Moeller telephone: 626-395-6523 / 626-395-6616 fax: 626-395-8826 German GSM: 0 15 77 - 1 90 31 41 moeller(a)caltech.edu Division of Biology MC 114-96 California Institute of Technology 1200 East California Boulevard CA 91125, Pasadena USA

Methods for white matter hypointensities measure
by Laluz, Victor 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Hello guys, I am curious as to how white matter hypointensities (on T1 mprage) are measured automatically for the aseg.stats file in FS? A group at UCSF is interested in using this measure for a study and would like to have a nice explanation or citation to describe how it is generated. I have looked through what I think the likely citations would be on the Freesurfer techniques article listing and came up empty. Thanks!

Motor areas from Talairach
by Ben Hamida Cammoun Leila Faiza 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Hi I am trying to find different Talairach areas in the motor cortex. I used the mris_convert -t function on the inflated brain (.asc). I selected coordinates using ranges from a paper (for example range x -70 to 4; range y -43 to 7 and range z 19 to 76 for M1). But when I want to see if they are in the wright area with tksurf on the same surface (inflated), the coordinates change. Do you know how to find the wright coordinates? Thanks Leila

monkey brain recon outputs
by Arslan, Ali 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Hi, I finished reconstructing a monkey's surface following the scripts on the wiki. The output surfaces seems to be a bit distorted and rough around the edges. This reconstruction is done with a volume normalized by using ~400 white matter control points. The resolution of the scan is 1x1x1 mm. Here are some pictures to look at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/52445793@N05/sets/72157624471174691/ Interestingly, white matter and gray matter boundaries seem to be intermingled for some reason. I was hoping control points would take care of that problem but they didn't. This can be observed by the 2 vol_surf images in the set. The most obvious defects can be seen on the white matter. There are small protrusions over the gyri, and the surfaces are generally very rough, unlike a successful human reconstruction. I was wondering if you have any ideas as to the source of the problem. Skull stripping was done with FSL's bet, and it looks successful. Can it be a problem with intensity normalization? Regards, Ali Arslan

Hi, is there a way to visualize the lh.thickness or rh.thickness files as an overlay in tkmedit. Thanks, Michael
