Re: [Freesurfer] make_average_subject error about limit
by Feng-Xian 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hi, I copied the default average subject from $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects dir to my analysis dir. Then, I make a FSGD file and some contrast matrices and put them into my analysis dir. After that, I start to run group analysis. But, when I type the following commands: mris_preproc --fsgd noise_0.5-1-5.fsgd --target fsaverage -- hemi lh --meas thickness --out lh.noise_0.5-1-5.thickness.00.mgh The terminal shows: ERROR: flag -- not recognized Now, I have two problems want to ask. 1) What's wrong about the commands that I type? And, how to solve the problem? 2) I found this commands from the FreeSurfer web. And, I'm confused about that two ways to do analysis. One is cached (qcached) data, and the other is uncached data. What's way is suitable to my subjects? (My subjects is one factor and three levels, had run QDEC before, but QDEC is not good job to analysis, and, I want to change the analysis method from QDEC to DODS) So, which way do I choose to analysis my subjects?? Idon't understand the differences from them. Thank you in advance!

How to remove defects from inflated surface
by pcraisan＠cc.hut.fi 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hello, I have run recon-all for my images but the resulting inflated surface has a lot of bumps on it even after first hand edits to the brainmask and wm volumes. I have tried manually removing the bumps one by one by editing the wm volume but it did not have the effect I was hoping for. Is there an automatic way to smooth the inflated surface? I have tried using mris_smooth but it also messed up my .curv-file in the process.

How to threshold an input mutli-volume?
by 李猛 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hi, all. Can mri_threshold threshold an input mutli-volume file? With a seven volumes NIFTI file, all voxels other than in the first volume are set to zero. In addition, the help for mri_threshold options is very limited. There is nothing about the options. Usage: mri_threshold [options] <in vol> <thresh> <out_vol> This program will threshold an input volume Where do I get more detailed description? Best Regards.

restarting after edits to brainmask.mgz and wm.mgz

Hi, I was just wondering if I should use -autorecon2-wm or -autorecon2-pial after making adjustments to both the brainmask.mgz and wm.mgz when restarting freesurfer. -Mira Mira Michelle Raman Scientific Programmer Center for Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences Research Stanford University 401 Quarry Rd.

I am trying to run glm for two different scans of same subjects, ie first year scan vs second year scan. I ran the mris_prepoc and mri_surf2surf and it completed without error. When i run mri_glmfit it gives me error ERROR: gdfReadV1: Input line 1, subjid = 0049_05102006 Found 1 variables, expected. 0 FSGDF Format Error: file = CAA_1stScan_VS_2ndScan_Control_thickness.fsgd, tag=Input Ayaz

How to "Fitting Tensors" in dt_recon?
by 李猛 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hi, All. The related item of "Fitting Tensors" is listed from the dt_recon. # Fit tensors echo "#@#-------------------------------" | tee -a $LF echo "Fitting Tensors" | tee -a $LF date | tee -a $LF set cmd = (mri_glmfit --y $fec --glmdir $OutDir); if($#bvals == 0) then set cmd = ($cmd --dti $infodump) else set cmd = ($cmd --dti $bvals $bvecs) endif However, I can't find any description about this argument(--dti) in mri_glmfit. Did the mri_glmfit call the dtifit to fit the tensor from fsl?If not, what is it? -- Albert Lab of Complex System and Artificial Intelligence, Institute of Automation,Chinese Academy of Sciences(CASIA) Beijing, 100190,P.R.CHINA

citation for appropriateness of using freesurfer with children
by Anthony Dick 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hello- I am using Freesurfer to obtain cortical parcellations for both children (aged 8-11 years) and adults. A reviewer asked for evidence that the parcellation works equally well in children and adults. Has this been tested empirically and published anywhere? I found a post saying not too worry about it for this age range (http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg06537.html) but reviewers tend to like references to published evidence :) The closest I get are papers by Burgund et al., 2002 and Kang et al., 2003 (http://tinyurl.com/m6v5s5; http://tinyurl.com/kwckol) but those papers do not use Freesurfer.

ROI
by Natalia Sanchez 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Dear Experts: I am trying to create a cortical mask of M1 (Precentral cortex) for each hemisphere to use it for tractography in FSL. First I register the subject to the space I am using (Talairach or MNI), then I save the label from tksurfer and then use mri_vol2roi to create the ROI which is all the precentral motor area. Finally I am downsampling the output from vol2roi in order to use it as an FSL target mask in ProbtrackX. When checking the output in FSL, the mask seems to be missaligned with the original T1 image, is it beacuse an error in the header or is it because I am doing something wrong in the process? Thenk you for your help, let me know if you need anything else. -- Natalia Sanchez
