Johanna,
For the problem you describe in your email, one possibility is that the 'Untitled' directory, which is the default name qdec gives to an analysis, was overwritten with data from another analysis while the simulation script was running. The recommended procedure is to give a particular analysis its own Design name (see text box in the Design tab), using a different Design name for each hemi, and each set of factor selections.

Dear Freesurfer experts,
I have problems concerning the results of a MC simulation. When I checked the results with Qdec I discovered a matching problem for the right hemisphere. It seems like the used command runs the correct analyses for the right hemisphere, but fails projecting it properly to that one. It looks like freesurfer uses atlas and coordinates of the left hemisphere for the right hemisphere. I think the problem starts during MC simulation. Here's a "copy paste" entry of the *.log file, where I think freesurfer clearly mixes up hemisphere information:
version $Id: mri_surfcluster.c,v 1.39.2.3 2009/01/15 01:06:01 greve Exp $ hemi = lh srcid = /home/hiwibp14/smb4k/CORTICAL/fmrt/Studie43/freesurfer/qdec/Untitled/rh-Avg-Intercept-thickness/sig.mgh
For me obviously in the simulation process the programm mixes up information for right and left hemisphere during the analyses. This happens several times during analyses but only for analyses concerning the right hemisphere (see the complete attached log file). Is there any possibility to specify the command, adressing this problem like a special flag or something? Or is it possible to run the right hemisphere again separately?
To run the simulation I used the following command line:
mri_glmfit-sim \ --glmdir /home/hiwibp14/smb4k/CORTICAL/fmrt/Studie43/freesurfer/qdec/Untitled \ --sim mc-z 5000 1.3 mc-z.abs.1.3 \ --sim-sign abs \ --overwrite
Thanks for your help and best regards,
