Hi Paul,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I examined all files within the /script directory from recon-all from two subjects where one subject created a dof, and another did not generate a dof. I used the vimdiff command to explore differences in the files. There were significant differences in three of the log files (from each subject); please be aware that I am new to FreeSurfer, and I am not sure what these differences indicate. For your convenience, I attached the files (.zip) and deidentified subject-specific information with "Subject_with_dof" or "Subject_with_no_dof".

What can I do to create the dof files to carry on with my analyses? Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best wishes,
Noah

Hi Noah,

I'm not super familiar with the functional stream, but it looks like something has gone wrong during the first-level analysis for some of your subjects.

Can you compare the log files in the ./scripts directory for a subject that has the dof files vs a subject that doesn't and post any differences you find?

Subject: [Freesurfer] Problem with sxconcat-sess
 
Hello,

I am trying to concatenate my functional data with the following command (Ps: I am relatively new to FreeSurfer):

sxconcat-sess -sf functional_ID_jun22_allSubjects -analysis PCC_Bold_R -contrast bilateral_isthmuscingulate_bold_config -o DMN_Right.

I get an error that says the dof file cannot be found for my 26 scans in $SUBJECTS_DIR. However, running:

find . -name "dof"

The dof file was created for 12 scans. I used the same analysis pipeline for all the scans. I searched the mailing list, and haven't found anything that could help my problem. Any idea why the dof was not created for all scans? How can I create the dof for the remaining scans? Please let me know if you need further details. I am using Freesurfer version 6.0.0.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Please find the terminal output below.

Best wishes,
Noah
