External Email - Use Caution Hello Liam, Have you tried following the “Setup Instructions” under, https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/DownloadAndInstall. ? For the 6.0.0 release: If you are on the Mac, running the .pkg installer should give you the distribution under /Applications/freesurferThen you would set FREESURFER_HOME to /Applications/freesurfer If you are on Linux, you need to choose a location to install it.  It is typically put under /usr/local, and if you expand the archive there, you will get /usr/local/freesurfer, e.g, assuming the archive is in your downloads folder$ cd /usr/local$ sudo tar zxpf ~/Downloads/freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0.tar.gzThen you would set FREESURFER_HOME to /usr/local/freesurfer - or follow what is under the section “Setup & Configuration” - R.

FreeSurfer Cortical Parcellation using isoDWI image only?
by Yixin Ma 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

External Email - Use Caution Hi Freesurfer experts, I'm writing to ask if it's possible to run FreeSurfer Cortical Parcellation by just using the isoDWI image. If it's possible, it will reduce the scan time and avoid misregistration between T1 and DWI. I started from just input the masked isoDWI (mask generated from MRtrix3) for -reconall command, and attached is a screenshot of the image of NU.mgz, which shows a clear delineation of WM/GM matter. So I think it's promising, although the recon-all stopped because of the wrong contrast. My ideas on tackling this problem are: 1) generate a corresponding "fake" T1-weighted image by either adjusting the value directly or using a brain Atlas and deformable registration to create one. 2) Tweak some parameters in FreeSurfer. Any suggestions or comments on my ideas are appreciated. Thank you very much and all the best, Yixin Ma [image: Screen Shot 2020-03-12 at 3.06.22 PM.png]

Functional connectivity analysis ERROR: cannot find.../dof
by Renew Andrade 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer experts: I cannot fix the problem that I mention in the subject. I put the output of the terminal below. I was doing functional connectivity analysis walkthrough tutorial and I followed until group analysis when applying "isxconcat-sess”. I cannot proceed because the “.dof” files are in "/sessx/rest/*” where x is a number from 0 to 9 and * indicates location. So I don’t know why this files are here and not in the analysis subdirectory i.e. “fc.lpccseed.lh”. What is the problem? How should I fix it? Thank you for all the help!! Sincerely, Andrade.

External Email - Use Caution Hi team, I encountered an error when running the test "Candal" dataset. For some patients' files, I found the error information in the log file. So, after "recon-all" finished, I re-run recall for these files with errors. However, error still happened? What's wrong? Thanks. log file for a patient is in the attachment. Best wishes. Bo

Re: [Freesurfer] Freeview error: GLXBadContext
by fsbuild 12 Mar '20

External Email - Use Caution Hello Alek, When you say you are running Ubuntu 14 via a Windows 10 PC, do you mean you are running the add-on windows subsystem for linux (known as WSL) that allows you run an Ubuntu shell on Windows 10?    And then when you say you are remotely viewing things, does that mean you are remotely logging into that Windows machine? If you are in fact using WSL, then for X Window based GUI application like Freeview to run in WSL, you need to have an X server installed and running on the windows side, e.g., Xming.  Then WSL can send X windows based graphics from the Linux shell back to Xming on the Windows side for rendering..  But  Windows OS has to be able to handle rendering the graphics thru Xming using the drivers for whatever the graphics card/hardware is (which could include a GPU). If you look at this thread for the same error you posted, but on a pure linux desktop, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9769613/x-error-badalloc-…, it reads to me like this may have been solved by updating the *mesa* libraries in linux which support displaying graphics (directly on the linux OS driving the graphics card).  Translating this to the Windows WSL environment however - it would seem the same error could be from the graphics received by the X-server on the Windows side not being compatible/supported by the graphics drivers/hardware there.  It might also have something to do with how the X-server is configured. I don’t have much experience with WSL, but I would think that in the Ubuntu linux shell you’d want to set display for the console,  $ export DISPLAY=:0 Then it sounds like that /usr/bin/xeyes or other *simple* X programs already get displayed correctly,  $ /usr/bin/xeyes Do you get the same error if you run a simple freeview command to open a single volume, e..g. $ freeview $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/bert/mri/brain.mgz I would try the above directly on the windows machine (not remotely logged in). - R.

within-subject contrast between runs
by Milde, Christopher 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer Experts, I have a very basic questions about creating subject-wise contrasts between runs Background Study with two runs per subject where each run corresponds two a different condition (i.e. Stimulation A (on - off) and Stimulation B (on - off). I performed the preprocessing and 1st levels stats in the native subjects space Questions * How can I obtain a within-subjects contrast between two runs (the Stimulation A vs. Stimulation B ) obtained in two runs within one session? * Can I obtain this within-subject contrast by staying in the native subject space? * Do I have to concatenate both runs and create a new parradigm file? Thanks for your support Sincerely Chris

Converting ANTs nonlinear transform to .m3z
by Ardesch, D.J. 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer experts, I am working on some monkey data and trying to get an accurate nonlinear transform to talairach space (talairach.m3z in the -careg stage). The problem is that the monkey brains look so different from the human brain that this registration ends up being very far off, even with an accurate talairach.lta. As an alternative, I did a two-stage nonlinear registration using ANTs (first from subject to a macaque template and then from macaque template to talairach), which gives an accurate nonlinear transform. However, I can’t seem to convert this nonlinear transform file correctly from .nii.gz to the .m3z format that FreeSurfer needs to continue down the pipeline. How would one go about converting the nonlinear transform from ANTs to a correct .m3z file? Some other things I tried: * I have tried a workaround in which I applied the inverse ANTs transform to the first frame of RB_all_2016-05-10.vc700.gca to get the talairach volume in subject space, and then ran mri_ca_register on that volume to obtain a talairach.m3z. That transform works but is still not accurate enough unfortunately. * The nonlinear transform itself seems correct because when I apply it to the movable volume using ANTs the results are similar to: mri_convert movable.mgz –apply_transform talairach.m3z -oc 0 0 0 movable_in_talairach.mgz where movable.mgz is the talairach volume in subject space and talairach.m3z is the transform made by mri_ca_register. The dimensions, orientation, and voxel size of movable_in_talairach.mgz and my own transformed volume are identical. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
