Calculate corticol thickness
by Jeff Sadino 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hello all, Real basic question: How do I calculate the thickness of the cortex, preferably at each vertex/face? I have tried read_curv.m, but get this error: [thickness, f] = read_curv('lh.thickness') ??? Undefined function or method 'fread3' for input arguments of type 'double'. Error in ==> read_curv at 21 vnum = fread3(fid) ; This should be simple, but the discussion board starts one step after me I think :) Any help would be appreciate! Second, when I try to load it in freesurfer, I get an error: [FSuser@cluster ~]$ tksurfer 050080_S01 lh thickness surfer: current subjects dir: /share/apps/freesurfer/subjects surfer: not in "scripts" dir ==> using cwd for session root surfer: session root data dir ($session) set to: surfer: /export/home/FSuser Talairach transform /home/freesurfer/subjects/050080_S01/mri/transforms/talairach.xfm does not exist ...

Are the minimum thicknesses maxing out my color map? This seems unlikely. Can anybody help me?

qdec & ?h.sulc
by Juranek, Jenifer 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Thanks for the slide, Nick. Just a follow-up question... So does the info in ?h.sulc contain sulcal depth information wrt the mean cortical surface? How does this differ from the positive values contained in the ?h.curv file? Sorry for the confusion, but the wiki suggests that they are different without going into how they differ. Any additional details are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jenifer

qdec & ?h.sulc
by Juranek, Jenifer 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hi, Looking for a little clarification. Using qdec to look at group differences in the surface measure ?h.sulc. Large positive values in ?h.sulc indicate greater sulcal depth, right? Large negative values in ?h.sulc indicate something about gyri? Small negative values in ?h.sulc indicate transition from gyral to sulcal or sulcal to gyral? Many thanks for any additional info, Jenifer

Error while registering functionals to anatomicals
by Krishna Srihasam 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hi, I am getting an error if I try to register my functionals to anatomical image (using spmregister-sess command). It is looking for file 'subjectname'. Here are the steps I did before coming across this error. Did I miss anything? step 1 : unpacking data (unpacksdcmdir command) step 2 : run motion correction (preproc-sess command) step 3: created the paradigm file step 4: registering functional to anatomical /************************************************************************** spmregister-sess -s abe_090116 -------------------------------------------------------------- spmregister-sess logfile is /tmp/sk/FSFAST/log/spmregister-sess.19224.log -------------------------------------------------------------- Session: /tmp/sk/FSFAST/abe_090116 ---------------- Wed Jan 28 13:27:34 EST 2009 ERROR: file 'subjectname' does not exist in /tmp/sk/FSFAST/abe_090116 /****************************************************************************** regards, Krishna

Extract overlay value from fsaverage ROIs
by Christine Ecker 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hi, Just wondering whether it is possible to extract values from an overlay created on fsaverage for aparc parcellated regions e.g. the mean of a statistical test parameter for specific aparc ROIs? I know it is possible to extract values for individual subjects on the basis of fsaverage ROIs, but all I would need is the mean for individual ROIs on fsaverage. Thanks for your help! ----------------------------------------- Dr. Christine Ecker Section of Brain Maturation (PO50) Department of Psychological Medicine De Crespigny Park, Denmark Hill London SE5 8AF Phone: 0207 848 0947 Email: c.ecker(a)iop.kcl.ac.uk -----------------------------------------

Discrepancy between talairach coordinates entered in tool bar and time course display
by Dave Brohawn 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hello, I am having an issue with a discrepancy between talairach coordinates I plug into tkmedit tool bar, and what gets displayed when I generate a time course for this voxel. FREESURFER_HOME: /usr/local/freesurfer/stable4 Build stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-v4.2.0-20090128 RedHat release: CentOS release 4.6 (Final) Kernel info: Linux 2.6.9-67.ELsmp i686 NMR Center info (/space/freesurfer exists): machine: seymour SUBJECTS_DIR: /space/seymour/4/users/joshdata/ PWD: /space/seymour/4/users/joshdata When I generated the time course. the overlay I loaded onto the orig volume is /space/seymour/4/users/joshdata/CC-n8_fixed/bold/EMerror/tal-ffx/ASevfix/cespct.bhdr. Registration file is: /space/seymour/4/users/joshdata/CC-n8_fixed/bold/EMerror/tal-ffx/register.dat. The voxel I want to generate a time course for has these coordinates: X -3.96 Y - -20.22 Z - -15.81 When I plug these into the tkmedit tool bar, the emerging time course graph has coordinates X- -4.00 Y - -20.00 Z- -20.00. While the X and Y coordinates are close enough, the Z is off. If I change the Z coordinate in the toolbar to -12.3, it will give me a -15. 8 value for the Z coordinate on the time course plot caption. Is this image legitimate? Which image accurately represents the original coordinates I want to use? Please write back when you can, and thank you, Dave Brohawn
