mri_surf2surf --mapmethod nnf not working?
by Viessmann, Olivia M. 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

Hello, I am using mri_surf2surf and would like to use the vertex map method nnf ("neighest neighbor, forward only") which according to the --help description exists and avoids multiple source vertices to be mapped and averaged onto a single target vertex (crucial to my analysis here). However, when I run this the output suggests that it is running the nnfr (neighest-neighbor forward and reverse) method. Is this a bug or am I misinterpreting the console output? This is the command and output: /usr/local/freesurfer/dev/bin/mri_surf2surf --srcsubject 994273 --sval 994273/Results/Orientations/lh_SSangle_depth00_rfMRI_REST1_LR.mgz --trgsubject fsaverage --mapmethod nnf --o lh_SSangle_depth00_rfMRI_REST1_LR_inFSAv.mgz --hemi lh sysname Linux machine x86_64 user omv4 srcsubject = 994273 srcval = 994273/Results/Orientations/lh_SSangle_depth00_rfMRI_REST1_LR.mgz srctype = trgsubject = fsaverage trgval = lh_SSangle_depth00_rfMRI_REST1_LR_inFSAv.mgz trgtype = srcsurfreg = sphere.reg trgsurfreg = sphere.reg srchemi = lh trghemi = lh frame = 0 fwhm-in = 0 fwhm-out = 0 label-src = (null) label-trg = (null) OKToRevFaceOrder = 1 UseDualHemi = 0 Reading source surface reg /cluster/olivia/Data/994273/T1w/994273/surf/lh.sphere.reg Loading source data Reading target surface reg /cluster/olivia/Data/994273/T1w/fsaverage/surf/lh.sphere.reg Done Using surf2surf_nnfr() Mapping Source Volume onto Source Subject Surface surf2surf_nnfr: building source hash (res=16).

hippocampal subfields error
by Marcel Heers 03 Oct '18

03 Oct '18

External Email - Use Caution Dear Eugenio, I am currently testing the newest version of your hippocampal subfield analysis script. If I process the data on my macbook the files hipposubfields.lh.T2.v21.file_ID contain the volumes of the different nuclei, but on the linux server these files remain empty. On the server I installed freesurfer as local user. Do you have any suggestions how to check what might go wrong? Thanks for your help! Marcel

External Email - Use Caution Dear Prof. Fischl, Sorry for the lack of clarity. I used bbregister to generate a registration.dat file. I used simnibs to calculate the Efield distribution and this has the option to convert the Efield mesh files to .nii files. So I registered the high resolution T1 (from simnibs, that aligns with the Efield) to the original T1 data. Consecutively, I used tksurfer to visualize. bbregister --s Dep48_T1_origANAT --mov /home/debby/Desktop/FigModPap_Depr48/fs_HeadmeshDep48_origT1/mri/T1.mgz --reg /home/debby/Desktop/FigModPap_Depr48/register_AnatSimnToAnatOrig.dat --t1 tksurfer FigModPap_Depr48 lh pial -sdir /home/debby/Desktop -overlay /home/debby/Desktop/FigModPap_Depr48/Dep48_DLPFC_normE_CORRECTED.nii -overlay-reg /home/debby/Desktop/FigModPap_Depr48/register_AnatSimnToAnatOrig.dat -fthresh -2 -fmid 150 Best, Debby ________________________________________ Van: freesurfer-bounces(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu [freesurfer-bounces(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu] namens Bruce Fischl [fischl(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu] Verzonden: zaterdag 15 september 2018 17:21 Aan: Freesurfer support list Onderwerp: Re: [Freesurfer] Overlay electric field distribution on pial surface Hi Debby you need to give us a lot more information.

External Email - Use Caution The European Neuroscience Institute in Göttingen (ENI-G) Germany, a partnership between the University Medical Center Göttingen and the Max-Planck-Society, is seeking a *Ph.D. student * About us: The Neural Circuits and Cognition lab of Caspar Schwiedrzik at the European Neuroscience Institute (ENI-G) and the German Primate Center <http://www.dpz.eu/de/startseite.html> (DPZ) in Göttingen, Germany is looking for an outstanding PhD student interested in studying the neural basis of perceptual learning in vision. The project investigates neural mechanisms of learning and perception at the level of circuits and single cells, utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in combination with electrophysiology and behavioral testing in humans and non-human primates. It is funded by an ERC Starting Grant (Acronym VarPL; “Specificity or generalization? Neural mechanisms for perceptual learning with variability”). The PhD student’s project will focus on developing new perceptual learning paradigms and investigating the neural basis of perceptual learning in humans using fMRI. In addition, the PhD student will cooperate with other lab members on parallel electrophysiological and fMRI experiments as well as comparative research exploring the same questions in non-human primates. The lab seeks to understand the cortical basis and computational principles of perception and experience-dependent plasticity in the macaque and human brain (see http://www.eni-g.de/groups/neural-circuits-and-cognition) To this end, we use a multimodal approach including fMRI-guided electrophysiological recordings in non-human primates and fMRI and ECoG in humans. The PhD student will play a key role in our research efforts in this area. The lab is located at the ENI (http://www.eni-g.de) and the DPZ ( http://www.dpz.eu) which are interdisciplinary research centers with international faculty and students pursuing cutting-edge research in neuroscience. The PhD student will have access to a new imaging center <http://www.dpz.eu/en/infocenter/> with a dedicated 3T research scanner, electrophysiology, and behavioral setups. ENI-G is engaged in experimental molecular and cellular research on the central and peripheral nervous systems as well as cognitive and systems neurosciences research. ENI is part of the University Medical Center Göttingen and associated with the Max Planck Society. The University Medical Center Göttingen is a tertiary care center. Its 7,400 employees work in over 65 departments and facilities to provide top-quality patient care, excellent research and modern teaching facilities. Göttingen provides a vibrant and stimulating neuroscience community with a strong background in computational as well as experimental neurosciences. The PhD student will have the opportunity to join one of the fourteen programs of the Göttingen Graduate School for Neurosciences, Biophysics, and Molecular Biosciences (http://www.ggnb.uni-goettingen.de) Your profile: The position will be available starting in November 2018 with an initial appointment for 3 years and a salary according to 50% TVL-13. Candidates should have a degree (master, diploma or equivalent) in a relevant field (e.g., neuroscience, psychology, biology), and ideally prior experience in fMRI, strong quantitative, programming, and experimental skills, and share a passion for understanding the neural basis of visual perception and its plasticity. Interested candidates should send their curriculum vitae, a description of their scientific interest and the names and contact information of up to two references who are able to comment on your academic background and who agreed to be contacted to c.schwiedrzik(a)eni-g.de, preferably before *October 10th, 2018*, but later expressions of interest will be considered until the position is filled. A good command of English is a requirement, but fluency in German is not essential.

Re: [Freesurfer] amygdala segmentation atlas influence
by Iglesias Gonzalez, Eugenio 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

External Email - Use Caution Thanks, Raj. I’d argue that, if the volumes of the nuclei were completely driven by the global volume of the amygdala, e.g., in an extreme case, V_nuc = alpha x V_whole, then the effect size of the nucleus at hand would be the same as for the whole amygdala. Whether such effect size is higher or lower than the “real” effect size in presence of perfect segmentation… depends on the nucleus ;-) Doug: any thoughts? Cheers, /Eugenio -- Juan Eugenio Iglesias ERC Senior Research Fellow Centre for Medical Image Computing (CMIC) University College London http://www.jeiglesias.com http://cmictig.cs.ucl.ac.uk/ From: "Dr Rajendra Morey, M.D." <rajendra.morey(a)duke.edu> Date: Monday, 1 October 2018 at 21:53 To: "Iglesias Gonzalez, Eugenio" <e.iglesias(a)ucl.ac.uk>, Freesurfer support list <Freesurfer(a)nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Subject: RE: [Freesurfer] amygdala segmentation atlas influence Hi Eugenio Thanks for your response it is helpful. In the dataset that I just analyzed with about 375 scans I suspect that the segmentation for some nuclei is heavily driven by the atlas. This is resulting in relatively low variance in both the patient group and the control group. The implication is that the between-group statistical test is overly sensitive and therefore produces higher than the expected chance of a significant result. Is this a reasonable concern. The counterargument is that the means of the two groups are closer to each other than the true means because of a heavy reliance on the atlas. The implication here is that the between group statistical test is going to be more conservative than the true difference. Or does it mean the significance of the test is not affected but that the effect size is artificially low. Let me know your thoughts!
