Invalid License Key Error for Freesurfer 5.1
by An Lijun 26 Aug '19

26 Aug '19

External Email - Use Caution Hello Freesurfer developers, Right now I am trying to use Freesurfer 5.1.0. But the software showed ERROR “Invalid FreeSurfer license key found in license file”. We tried to apply license online, however, the license provided online is now for 6.0.0 version and it seems not applicable for 5.1.0 since I still got the same error message as before. May I ask how to get the licnese of 5.1.0? Thanks for your help! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Best Regards, An Lijun

trouble with freeview View > Show Color Scale
by Elizabeth Olson 26 Aug '19

26 Aug '19

External Email - Use Caution Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble with the Show Color Scale option. I have run TRACULA and have loaded a text file containing p-values from an analysis (Spline Color: Heatscale, Scalar map: my p-values file). The values display correctly on the tract. However, when I use View > Show Color Scale, it looks like the color scale is generated is for the black-and-white volume, instead of for those values. See attached screenshot. I'm instead trying to generate a Color Scale at the right of the figure that shows which colors (yellow to red) correspond to which p-values. Thanks for your help, Liz

Are those values actually 0 or just very small? Is that area dark on the T2*?

Question re: hippocampal & amygdala subdivision files.
by Jamie Hanson 26 Aug '19

26 Aug '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer List, I had a (hopefully) quick question re: output files from the hippocampal and amygdala subdivision routines. I know that there are multiple parcel schemes for the hippocampus (HBT, FS60, and CA), and per this thread ( https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg57898.html) the final subfield segments are "computed from none of those volumes, but the parent of all of them". I wondered however if there was an MGZ file that corresponded to the final/combined sub-divisions? Or if there was a way to output this? My group was interested in doing some spatial and surface analyses of sub-divisions (using Spherical Harmonics or some other related techniques). And I understand what the different MGZ files were in the mri directory (e.g., CA.FSvoxelSpace.mgz, FS60.FSvoxelSpace.mgz, HBT.FSvoxelSpace.mgz), but what was the file without any suffix (e.g., lh.hippoAmygLabels-T1.long.v21.mgz)? Or is that the file I'm looking for? Any information is deeply appreciated! Thanks much, Jamie. -- Jamie Hanson Assistant Professor, Psychology Research Scientist, Learning Research and Development Center University of Pittsburgh Personal website: jamiehanson.org

mri_vol2surf fails
by Sackl, Maximilian 26 Aug '19

26 Aug '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear FreeSurfer experts, I was trying to perform a GLM fit with T2* data, projected on the cortical surface. For the preparation of the 4D-input file (needed for mri_preproc) I used the mri_vol2surf command and encountered the following problem. There appear regions without any values, (screenshot mri_vol2surf_output.png), although the segmentation of the pial and WM surface seem to be correct. (screenshot pialSurface.png). Do you have any idea, how to solve this problem? Thank you very much!

mri_vol2vol
by Rihana Rayan 25 Aug '19

25 Aug '19

External Email - Use Caution Dear FS users, I have performed recon-all on structural data and created ROIs (using mri_binarize), I want to mask functional data (GLM beta) with ROIs. To match the file sizes, I resampled the ROI.nii by performing the command: mri_vol2vol --mov ROI.nii --targ beta_01.nii --regheader --o ROI_in_beta.nii Multiplying ROI_in_mask.nii by GLM beta, results in NaN over some voxels. Can anyone help me solve the problem? Best regards, Rihana

what is the right manual correction when ?h.white extends into gray matter
by Caroline Chwiesko 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

External Email - Use Caution Hello Freesurfer experts, I wrote a previous email about my issue that in many of my subjects I have spots where the ? h.white is extending too much into the gray matter after running recon-all. As I understood from a conversation from somebody else, [[Freesurfer] WM surface including too much gray matter], you are currently looking into whether default parameter adjustments in recon-all can fix this problem. Until then, it was recommended to edit those errors manually. My question is what editing technique should I use if I want to manually edit thesis type of errors? Removing the voxels that I think are gray matter from the white matter file using recon edit? I am a little confused about this because I noticed that the ?h.white boundary does not necessarily follow the wm boundary (see attached image), so I am wondering, if changes to the wm will fix the problem that I have. Thank you very much in advance! Carolin [image: Screen Shot 2019-08-06 at 1.32.16 PM.png]
