Hi Marie:

It puzzles me too. I checked a few of the aparc_lgi.stats with a regular aparc.stats file and they all look exactly the same to me. Extracting the values from the aparc.stats has never run into problems. Even the file size of 5.7kb is the same. I will keep trying variations in the script. Perhaps that might help.

As always thanks so much for your help,

best,

Alan

Hi Alan,

I  never had this error. Do you get the same error if you use aparcstats2table with other stats files? Did you check one of those aparc_lgi.stats file to see whether they look similar to another aparc.stats file in term of structure (except that the values will be different)?

Hi Marie:

Thanks so much. I used your command and got the average LGI values for each region for each subject. However when ran the second script, I get the following message:

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks again,

Hi Alan,

lGI is different from the folding index. lGI is not yet extracted automatically in the different regions, because it's more meant to be use at the vertexwise level. But you can easily obtain the lGI values averaged over the Desikan's ROI using the following command:

mris_anatomical_stats -a SUBJ/label/?h.aparc.annot -t SUBJ/surf/?h.pial_lgi -f SUBJ/stats/lh.aparc_lgi.stats SUBJ ?h

Please note than then you will get the average lGI values for each region for each subject under the thickness column, and that the volume in this same text file will not mean anything relevant anymore.

Then you can go for:

aparcstats2table --subjects ALL_YOUR_SUBJECTS --hemi ?h --meas thickness --parc aparc_lgi --tablefile aparc_lgi_?h.txt


Let me know if you have difficulties,

Marie
