Thanks Doug! I did that and it worked, but now here's another problem: the values that I obtained for V1, V2, and cortex for each subject are all the same. For example, BV20 left hemisphere values for V1, V2, and cortex are all 2.7241 (same thing happens for the right hemisphere). Maybe I can tell you what I did step by step to see if you can find where I went wrong.

First, I did a for loop to run mri_segstats for each participant for each label per hemisphere (here is an example of V1):

foreach s (BV20 BV21 BV22 BV23 BV24 BV25 BV26 BV27 BV28 BV29 BV30 BV31 BV32 BV33 BV34 BV35 BV36 BV37 BV38 BV39 BV40 BV41 BV43 BV44 BV47 MB07 MB08 MB09 MB10 MB11 MB12 MB13 MB14 MB15 MB16 MB17 MB18 MB19 MB20) <<hit enter>>

mri_segstats --label-thresh .5 --slabel $s lh $SUBJECTS_DIR/$s/label/lh.V1.thresh.label --i $SUBJECTS_DIR/$s/surf/lh.pial_lgi --sum $SUBJECTS_DIR/$s/stats/lh.V1.thresh.label.LGI.stats <<hit enter>>

end <<hit enter>>

for left V2 I ran:

mri_segstats --label-thresh .5 --slabel $s lh $SUBJECTS_DIR/$s/label/lh.V2.thresh.label --i $SUBJECTS_DIR/$s/surf/lh.pial_lgi --sum $SUBJECTS_DIR/$s/stats/lh.V2.thresh.label.LGI.stats <<hit enter>>

end <<hit enter>>

and for left cortex I ran:

mri_segstats --label-thresh .5 --slabel $s lh $SUBJECTS_DIR/$s/label/lh.cortex --i $SUBJECTS_DIR/$s/surf/lh.pial_lgi --sum $SUBJECTS_DIR/$s/stats/lh.cortex.LGI.stats

end <<hit enter>>

This is where the problem must be occurring since all files created during these commands show the same files per hemisphere. I've attached three files created during mri_segstats (left V1, V2, cortex.stats) for one participant. I've also attached files created during asegstats2table to show how all values are the same for each label for all participants (V1, V2, cortex.LGI.txt).

If anyone has any insight into the problem, that would be great!

Best,

Krista

Hi again,

My apologies for the barrage of emails! I was able to do mri_segstats on V1 labels for pial_lgi using the following:

mri_segstats --label-thresh .5 --slabel $s lh $SUBJECTS_DIR/$s/label/lh.V1.thresh.label --i $SUBJECTS_DIR/$s/surf/lh.pial_lgi --sum $SUBJECTS_DIR/$s/stats/lh.V1.thresh.label.LGI.stats

However, now I'm having trouble with bringing all of the data into one table using aparcstats2table. I found online how to get the data for aparc annotation (https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2013-September/033069.html) and tried to adapt to the labels. Here is what I've tried:

aparcstats2table --subjects BV20 BV21 BV22 BV23 BV24 BV25 BV26 BV27 BV28 BV29 BV30 BV31 BV32 BV33 BV34 BV35 BV36 BV37 BV38 BV39 BV40 BV41 BV43 BV44 BV47 MB07 MB08 MB09 MB10 MB11 MB12 MB13 MB14 MB15 MB16 MB17 MB18 --hemi lh --meas thickness --parc V1.thresh.label.LGI --tablefile lh.V1.thresh.label.LGI.txt

I get the following output when I do this:

SUBJECTS_DIR : /Applications/freesurfer/subjects
Parsing the .stats files
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/freesurfer/bin/aparcstats2table", line 371, in <module>
parc_measure_map = parsed.parse(options.meas)
File "/Applications/freesurfer/bin/fsutils.py", line 207, in parse
val = float(strlist[self.measure_column_map[measure]])
ValueError: could not convert string to float: Seg0000

I've attached an example of the file created during mri_segstats in case that helps.

Thanks!
Krista

sorry, it is --slabel
btw, there is documentation. If you run it without options it
gives you a list of arguments as well as examples
