Dear Freesurfers,
I've got data pertaining to patients with left and right-sided temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). My aim is to group those tracts according to side of epilepsy for waypoint comparisons.
Basically for patients with right TLE I'd like to look at right tracts and at the same time for patients with left TLE I'd like to look at left tracts (ipsilateral tracts), I need to do the same for the contralateral tracts. Is there a straightforward way of doing this?
I've already copied the tracts to respective ipsi and contralateral byvoxel.txt files. Like so: for i in R*/dpath/rh*/pathstats.byvoxel.txt; do cp $i ${i/byvoxel./byvoxel_ipsiRTLE.}; done ; for i in R*/dpath/lh*/pathstats.byvoxel.txt; do cp $i ${i/byvoxel./byvoxel_contraRTLE.}; done Now I have to flip the x-coordinates in the patients with right TLE (to make them more comparable to the tracts of the patients with left TLE). That will not be a problem, but I wonder if I am missing something? Can I then just go ahead and run trac-all -stats -c dmrircfile to generate the mean waypoint tracts etc.?
Thank you very much, Best wishes,
Barbara
