Hey Doug,
Hello again,Don't mean to be a bother. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what possibly be going wrong during my retinotopic analysis that I posted. I'm at quite a loss and would appreciate a look.Thanks and best,DanielOn Fri, May 11, 2012 at 11:49 AM, Daniel Cole <dcole10@u.rochester.edu> wrote:
Hello,I have some questions regarding the FsFastIndividual pipeline. I hope you can take a look at the commands I have run and give me some insight into what the problem might potentially be. I have 5 rotating wedge stimuli runs1. I set up my subject's directories according to the freesurfer tutorial powerpoint and declare my environmental variables using-<export FREESURFER_HOME=/Volumes/RCBI/freesurferexport SUBJECTS_DIR=/Volumes/rcbiUsers/dcole/Retinotopysource $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh>Bold data renamed to f.nii.gz and placed into run folders (001, 002, etc)rtopy.par="stimtype polardirection neg"2. I then reconstruct the strucutural data using-<recon-all -i /Volumes/rcbiUsers/dcole/Retinotopy/VG01/raw/VGP01_001.dcm -subjid VG01>3. I create the subjectname file, run preprocessing, and make the analysis files.<preproc-sess -surface self lhrh -fwhm 5 -sf sessid -fsd boldmkanalysis-sess -analysis rtopy.self.lh -surface self lh -TR 1.2 -abblocked 38.4 -fsd bold -fwhm 5mkanalysis-sess -analysis rtopy.self.rh -surface self rh -TR 1.2 -abblocked 38.4 -fsd bold -fwhm 5>4. Then I run the analysis using-<selxavg3-sess -analysis rtopy.self.lh -sf sessidselxavg3-sess -analysis rtopy.self.lh -sf sessid>~This step was giving me an error until I added "faux" eccentricity run folders with runs 1-5 functional data copied and rtopy.par files with stimtype eccen. Rerunning these 2 steps with the faux eccentricity data fixed the error message.5. Create occipital patch with (http://www.alivelearn.net/?p=65) as guideline. Flatten patch using-<mris_flatten -w 0 -distances 20 7 lh.occip.patch.3d lh.occip.patch.flatmris_flatten -w 0 -distances 20 7 rh.occip.patch.3d rh.occip.patch.flat>And create fieldsign map using-<fieldsign-sess -a rtopy.self.lh -occip -sf sessidfieldsign-sess -a rtopy.self.rh -occip -sf sessid>~Error that analysis isn't retinotopy (because I used -abblocked), retrying step 3 with -retinotopy allowed me to create the fieldsign map.---For the -abblocked and -retinotopy analysis I am able to look at the results using <tksurfer-sess -a rtopy.self.lh -sf sessid>.My questions are:- Should I be using -abblocked or -retinotopy for a polar only design?- Is it ok to create "faux" eccentricity folders and then only look at the polar data?- Why is it for either of these analyses I can't view the angle map using <tksurfer-sess -a rtopy.self.?h -s sessid -map angle>? In fact the angle file is not created.Thanks so much for your time and help.Daniel--Daniel ColeUniversity of RochesterBrain and Cognitive Sciences
