Re: [Freesurfer] Tracula version and download problem

Thanks Anastasia. I ask that because in the tracula stat page, it saids *"Measures can be extracted from these files to be analyzed further, e.g., for tract-based group analysis. Specifically, the text files can be converted into a table using the command tractstats2table and then used for doing GLM analyses with mri_glmfit or any other statistical software (SPSS, Excel, Statview etc.)"*. So I think I may reuse the GLM matrix.

Best, Clive

Hi Clive - These are not stats in the volume or on the surface, so mri_glmfit doesn't apply. If you want to do group analyses along a tract on a table produced by trac-all -stat, you should import the table in any software that you use for statistics (matlab, SPSS, etc).

Best, a.y

Dear Anastasia,

...

Thanks very much. I have already downloaded the file. The wiki page was also down a few hours ago, but it's ok now.

And I am interested in the tracula group stat. How could I use mri_glmfit on the text file? And can I use the QDEC (or the contrast generated by QDEC) to do the glm?

Thanks Clive

  Hi Clive - Yes, you can use the recent tracula update on top your

already processed data. The new update only adds new functionality to trac-all, without changing any of the existing functionality in 5.3.

  Did you try downloading the update from here?

        Hi,
        I just want to confirm, is that I can use the new trac-all

with the data processed in the original FS5.3 trac-all?

        And, I just want to download the new trac-all, but I have

problem to connect to the ftp server. I can login to the server, but it does not response to any command. Please advise.

        Best,
