mri: recon-all error
by Wilpert, Nina- Maria 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

External Email - Use Caution Hello FreeSurfer Developers, We are attempting to run the command recon-all on pediatric MRI images (1-13 yrs), as described on your website: cmd=”recon-all -i $Dir/*.nii.gz -s sub02_test -all” The command worked well for some of our subjects. For others, however, hard failures occurred and recon-all did not finish or we received the following error (please find the recon-all.log attached): “recon-all -s sub02_reconall exited with ERRORS at….” Would you have any recommendations on how to trouble-shoot these issues? We have attached the recon-all.log documents in case it's of any use. 1) FreeSurfer version: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c 2) Platform: Linux 4) recon-all.log: see attached. We would very much appreciate your help!

Virtual Conference "Brain Plasticity - Influences of Lifestyle and Aging" October 12.-13.
by Frauke Beyer 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

External Email - Use Caution ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How does lifestyle impact brain plasticity? What roles do diet and gut-brain communication play for brain function and behavior? Which mechanisms and modifiers contribute to healthy brain aging? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please join the virtual conference "Brain Plasticity - Influences of Lifestyle and Aging" on the 12./13. October 2020 if you're interested in these questions! During the conference, our amazing speakers Esther Aarts, Kyle Burger, Stéphanie Debette and Sylvia Villeneuve will present their latest work. We will have two presentation sessions in which researchers (both pre- and post-graduate, master, PhD candidates and Post-Docs) can share and discuss their work. Moreover, we will host a preregistration workshop on benefits and pitfalls of preregistering neuroimaging studies in the field of nutrition and lifestyle. For more information on the program and speakers, please visit our website <https://www.cbs.mpg.de/1555606/brain-plasticity-conference.html> and register for free. If you would like to present your work, please also submit a short abstract (max. 200 words) during the registration. Please also forward this email to other interested colleagues or relevant mailing lists, sorry for X-posting. Looking forward to seeing you online, and stay healthy Dr. Veronica Witte & Dr. Frauke Beyer from the Omega Lab (Twitter: @AgingObesity <https://twitter.com/AgingObesity>) at the Max-Planck-Institute for Human and Cognitive Brain Sciences

Queries regarding installation of FreeSurfer software
by Dharmendra Jakhar 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

External Email - Use Caution I, Dharmendra Jakhar, a researcher working on brain mapping and an aspiring user of your software, is facing difficulties in installation of FreeSurfer software. Query 1- We have duly downloaded and installed the directory in the application folder, but we are getting a prompt in the terminal that 'No such file or directory is found'. We have attached the screenshot for your reference. Query 2- We are also not able to type License key password instead in its place we can see a 'key symbol'. We have also attached the screenshot for your reference.

Contemplative Neuroscience Postdoctoral Position - Harvard Medical School/McLean Hospital
by Margiotta, Kathryn Nicole 13 Aug '20

13 Aug '20

[cid:image001.png@01D671A1.EF8F2F20] Postdoctoral Position in Contemplative Neuroscience at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School A postdoctoral position is available under the mentorship of Drs. Matthew D. Sacchet, David H. Rosmarin, and Diego A. Pizzagalli within the Laboratory for Affective and Translational Neuroscience (LATN) and Spirituality and Mental Health Program (SMHP) at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School. The LATN is part of the Center for Depression, Anxiety and Stress Research (CDASR; Directed by Dr. Pizzagalli; http://cdasr.mclean.harvard.edu/) a vibrant research center with over 40 scientists/staff/students that embraces a multi-disciplinary approach to improve our understanding of the psychological, environmental, and neurobiological factors associated with depression, anxiety, and related disorders across the lifespan The SMHP (Directed by Dr. Rosmarin; https://www.mcleanhospital.org/treatment/smhp) is a multifaceted initiative to meet the spiritual needs of McLean patients by providing spiritually-integrated care within multiple clinical programs throughout the hospital. In addition, the initiative provides chaplaincy services, develops new methods to incorporate faith into clinical treatment, conducts research on the relevance of spirituality to anxiety, mood, substance use, and other disorders, and trains and educates to raise greater awareness about spirituality and mental health. The candidate will be expected to lead and collaborate on projects that advance the neuroscience of prayer and meditation. The position will be primarily mentored by Dr. Sacchet, and secondarily by Drs. Rosmarin and Pizzagalli. Dr. Sacchet’s current research focuses on the neuroscience of advanced meditation and meditation training for depression (https://meditation.mclean.harvard.edu/) These studies employ a wide variety of approaches, including but not limited to high-density EEG, MEG, MRI (including functional, diffusion, and perfusion), computational modeling and machine learning, assays of hormonal/inflammatory markers, and wearables and experience sampling. Opportunities will be available to pursue independent research and interdisciplinary collaborations across Harvard Medical School. Depending on research focus, candidates will have access to research-dedicated human MRI scanners (3 T, 4 T, and 7 T), as well as two high-density EEG systems and a MEG system. Qualifications: A strong background in fast event-related and/or block design task-based functional MRI techniques is required. Expertise in contemplative neuroscience (e.g., prayer, meditation, and/or spirituality) is desired though not required. Additional experience with a second imaging modality and in clinical psychology and computational approaches (e.g., computational modeling, machine learning) will also be considered. To apply, send a CV, a cover letter describing research interests, as well as names and email addresses of three references to Matthew D. Sacchet (msacchet(a)mclean.harvard.edu<mailto:msacchet@mclean.harvard.edu>). Review of applications will begin immediately (expected start date: late 2020, although other timeframes may be possible). McLean Hospital, which is an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, is an Equal Opportunity Employer. As an equal opportunity employer, McLean seeks qualified candidates for all posted employment opportunities without regard to race, color, age, religion, gender, national origin, disability or veteran status. McLean particularly welcomes applications from minorities, women, and persons with disabilities. About the institution Since 1811, McLean Hospital has been a world leader in scientific investigations and treatments of mental illnesses as well as in training generations of scientists and clinicians. McLean Hospital maintains the largest program of research in neuroscience and psychiatry of any private psychiatric hospital in the United States. McLean Hospital has been ranked as America’s best freestanding psychiatric hospital for 18 consecutive years by U.S. News and World Report. U.S. News and World Report has consistently ranked Harvard Medical School as the best Research Medical School with the best Psychiatry Program.

mri_glmfit and R
by Eric Cunningham 13 Aug '20

13 Aug '20

External Email - Use Caution Hello Freesurfer Experts, I am trying to plot the ${meas} values at the maximum vertex in a significant cluster found by the group analysis pipeline (mri_glmfit). I created an .mgh file with mris_preproc, rh.cbd7.area.10.mgh. I read this file into matlab using MRIread. (mgh=MRIread(${path}/rh.cbd7.area.10.mgh);) After running mri_glmfit and mri_glmfit-sim, I found a significant cluster with maximum at vertex 53263. I read the values at this vertex using matlab again (values=mgh.vol(1,53263,1,:)). I then tried to duplicate the p value that mri_glmfit gave me at that vertex in R, and was unsuccessful (the p values did not match, and were actually quite different). I had assumed that mri_glmfit ran a glm at every vertex of the smoothed mgh file created by mris_preproc, and that the p values of that glm were assembled into sig.mgh. Was this assumption wrong? Thanks, -Eric
