Ubuntu, Xeon 64bit multi-core, and freesurfer
by Nicolas Cherbuin 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Hi, I am about to order new hardware that will be used to process scans with freesurfer but also for processing with other packages. Has anyone had experience with the combination of Xeon quad-core processors, Ubuntu, and Freesurfer? And if yes are there any issues I should be aware of? To my knowledge one Freesurfer process cannot run in parallel on multiple processors but I intend to process multiple scans simultaneously, hence the selection of a multi-core architecture. If somebody has some experience of the difference between 2.33 GHZ, 2.66 GHZ, and core-duo 3.00 GHZ I would also be interested to hear about it.

left-right comparsion
by Wang, Xin 30 Jul '07

Hello, Group Could anyone kindly share the method to compare the thickness between left and right hemispheres (vertex-by-vertex)? Did David C. Van Essen use Freesurfer in his article (NeuroImage 28 (2005) 635 - 662) to do the left-right comparison? Thank you in advance, Xin Wang

keyboard issues
by Troy Mcan 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Hi,When I type freesurfer in my terminal, a new shell opens up (with full keyboard functionality), in which I type tksurfer (with its parameters) or tkmedit (with its parameters). When I enter tksurfer or tkmedit, a new shell opens WITHIN the existing shell (along with the GUI interface). I can only use the alphanumeric keys on my keyboard whenever this new shell (for tksurfer or tkmedit) opens within the existing freesurfer shell. This is particularly irksome because the backspace key does not function (and I am forced to cntrl-c to kill the entire session). Are there any solutions for this? Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ PC Magazine’s 2007 editors’ choice for best web mail—award-winning Windows Live Hotmail. http://imagine-windowslive.com/hotmail/?locale=en-us&ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migrati…

mri_segstats question
by Morgan Hough 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hi , I would like to use mri_segstats with an aprac parcellation to get the mean/stddev of the norm.mgz intensities by parcel. I have tried the following usage: mri_segstats --annot con_2304 lh aparc --ctab-default --nonempty --excludeid 0 --sum con_2304.norm.aseg.sum --in $SUBJECTS_DIR/con_2304/mri/norm.mgz but I get the same output in the sum file with either the norm or orig.mgz file. Also there are certain parcellation units (PU) that have zero mean and zero standard deviation with either input. Is this usage correct for the job? Thanks in advance. Cheers, -Morgan

Orientation
by Dick, Rachel 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hello all, I have been using Freesurfer for quite some time. However, I have run into a problem. I am using a properly oriented input image (just like all others I have used before), but when I go to look at the brainmask.mgz after autorecon1, the image is flipped on the y axis. I have used mri_convert -out_orientation to change it and also the FSL tool avwswapdim to change the orientation but it doesn't make any difference. Once I open it in Freesurfer, it is always flipped along the y. Please help!! Thanks in advance.

install in Debian/Ubuntu
by 申林 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

hi, I have download "freesurfer-Linux-rh9-stable-pub-v3.0.5-full.tar.gz" for Ubuntu and followed the "FreeSurfer Setup and Configuration" and "Testing your FreeSurfer installation". The first two steps( export and source ) were ok , however, tkmedit always did not work and retured "command is not found" as well as tksurfer . Is there difference between ubuntu and other linux version in installing freesurfer ? how to finish the installation in ubuntu or whether I should choose redhat ? thank you in advance !

mri_label2surf
by Alessandro Gagliardi 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

I've been doing all of my analysis with surface images and now I need to label my results. I can annotate the visualization in tksurfer but I can't see an automated way to, say, generate a list of all areas with voxels with a value over some threshold. I thought I might try going to the label files and using mri_label2vol followed by mri_vol2surf. I'm registering all my surfaces using the icosahedron target and outputting in analyze format so I can import it into R. I figured the best labels to use would be those from the fsaverage directory. I converted those into volume files, but in order to convert them into surfaces, I need a .reg file. I tried the sphere.regfiles in the surf subdirectory, but mri_vol2surf didn't like that. Using a .reg file for a volume registered to fsaverage seems redundant, but I see no way around it. Is there? Or am I doing this all wrong and there is a much better way to label my surfaces? Thanks, -- ,-------------------------------------------------- | Alessandro Gagliardi | Rutgers University Mind Brain Analysis | Integrative Neuroscience Program | alessandro(a)gagliardi.name `--------------------------------------------

aseg.stats detailed list
by Joan Fisher 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hello -- The aseg.stats output that I have itemizes the size of the structures up to line 86, but there are only zeros after that. For example, if I wanted to know the wm or ctx for the rh middle temporal gyrus, there's a line devoted to that, but no values. Is there an option that I should be using to get a complete listing of regional size? Many thanks, Joan Fisher U of C

OASIS freesurfer-processed dataset
by Satrajit Ghosh 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Is there any documentation for the OASIS freesurfer-processed data? I'm looking for details of human intervention. For example, - were seeds inserted for any brains? - was the white matter edited - were cortical labels manually edited for correctness? Any documentation about the whole process would be much appreciated. Thanks, Satra
