[Freesurfer] Load Brodmann surface area into inflated surface

2012-04-23 Thread _andreia_
Hi all,

I'm sorry if these questions have already been covered here, but I've  
looked into the archives and still can't do what I need (and since I'm  
running out of time for this task I decided to post here):

I'm using version 5.0.0.

I want to show the resulting Brodmann area (only 3 BA) volume in the  
inflated surface of my subjects to show the differences between  
patients and controls (for visualization purpose only). I've managed  
to overlay the volume in the curvature menu but this is for the entire  
cortex and I can't show the values bar. How can I show the volume of  
only 3 BAs and have the scale bar?

Another question is, how is the volume of the BA calculated? Is it  
from the surface-based stream?

And, which surface area is the on in the output of the BA stats? Is it  
the pial or wm?

Thanks in advance,
Andreia

 Hi Viviana - I suspect it may be b/c you're using the 2mm-resolution MNI
 template brain, and our atlas was built using the 1mm one. From your dmrirc

 # MNI template (the only option for inter-subject registration in this
 version)
 # Default: $FSLDIR/data/standard/MNI152_**T1_1mm_brain.nii.gz

 Can you please try changing the above from 2mm to 1mm and see if it works?
 If so, I'll make sure this is handled more elegantly in the next version.

 Hope this helps,

Re: [Freesurfer] improving automated cerebellar parcellation

2012-04-23 Thread Bruce Fischl

Hi Anthony,

in matlab it would be something like:

vaseg = load_mgh('aseg.mgz') ;
[vmanual,M,mr] = load_mgh('manual_seg.mgz') ;
ind = find(vmanual  0) ;
vaseg(ind) = vmanual(ind) ;
save_mgh(vaseg, 'manual_seg.with_aseg.mgz', M, mr) ;

cheers

Hello,

I developed a new atlas for parcellating the cerebellum, based on 20
brains manually segmented by Jörn Diedrichsen, which he was kind enough
to share (note these also formed the basis for his 2009 paper in
Neuroimage (46; 39-46).

I got the segmentation to work, but I would not say it works well. As
you can see from the attached image, it is not ready for prime-time. On
the left is the brain of subject 1, manually segmented. On the right is
the brain of the same subject with the automated sementation, based on
the developed atlas.

My question is, how can I improve it? I realize this is an open question
and potentially difficult to answer without some probing, but this is a
resource I think a lot of users would like to have access to, so perhaps
it is worth the effort.

Re: [Freesurfer] Load Brodmann surface area into inflated surface

2012-04-23 Thread Bruce Fischl
Hi Andreia

sorry, I don't understand. What do you mean when you say you want to  
show the resulting Brodmann area (only 3 BA) volume in the inflated surface 
of my subjects. Do you mean just to show what portion of the surface is in 
each of 3 Brodmann areas? That you would do by loading the relevant labels, 
although you will probably want to threshold them differently (e.g. V1 you 
could threshold at .9 which is 90% and it would have about the surface area 
of an individual, while MT would need to be closer to .4 or .5). Or do you 
actually mean the volume of gray matter within each BA? If the latter, it's 
just 3 numbers/subject, so I would think you would want  a scatter plot or 
something, not a map on the surface.

cheers
Bruce

Re: [Freesurfer] surface does not match

that means that the subject was partially reprocessed but not completed. 
You can finish it with:

 Dear Freesurfers,

 I analyzed a dataset with FS 5.1 but upon loading the data in tksurfer I get 
 the following error:

 mrisReadTriangleFile(/.../surf/lh.sphere.reg): surface doesn't match 
 /.../surf/lh.inflated

 The same error occurs when I run mris_preproc as a step before GLM analyses 
 (mri_glmfit).

 A similar problem was described in the mailing list and offered the 
 possibility to resolve this with the following command: recon-all -s subjid 
 -make all

 This command only runs at the moment for a few of my subjects (I am at the 
 moment waiting for the results of these analyses). For the majority of my 
 subjects having the same error in mrisReadTriangleFile this command does not 
 run. For those, it seems that the command -make all is not recognized.

 Does anyone know why it does not run or is there an alternative solution in 
 FS 5.1. for this problem?

 Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Re: [Freesurfer] prefrontal cortex values

for all of prefrontal you mean? No, but it would be easy enough to draw a

[Freesurfer] Neuroscience project, hippocampus segmentation

2012-04-23 Thread Paweł Dembiński
Hi,
I'm currently doing a project for my neuroscience course. I've decided to
compare automatic segmentation methods (comparing hippocampus volumes)
(using Freesurfer and FIRST). My question is, whether there is a set of
commands in Freesurfer which will enable me to segment only hippocampus.
I'm only intrested in volumes, nothing else. I've noticed that recon-all
takes a lot of time and been wandering if there is a faster way.

Hi Pawel

no, sorry, you need to segment everything to get hippocampal volumes. You 
can stop after autorecon2 and not run 3, which will save you a bit of time, 
but you are probably better off just running them all normally.

Re: [Freesurfer] Load Brodmann surface area into inflated surface

2012-04-23 Thread _andreia_
(forgot to do answer all, here it goes for the list too)


Citando _andre...@sapo.pt:

 Hi Bruce,

 The ideia is to show one control subject vs. one patient inflated  
 surface with BA surface (not volume, sorry) to show the difference  
 (reduced surface area in one patient). Loading the relevant labels  
 worked (I have the statistics shown in bar graphs, the images are  
 only for visualizing the difference between controls and patients).  
 When I threshold the labels in the subject's inflated surface they  
 shrink a lot, is this supposed to happen?

 The BA are V1, V2 and MT. What is the thresghold for V2?

 And is it correct to load ?h.sulc in a gray scale to have the usual  
 cortex representation, or I should do it other way?


 And getting back to my previous email:

 Another question is, how is the volume of the BA calculated? Is it
 from the surface-based stream?

 And, which surface area is the on in the output of the BA stats? Is it
 the pial or wm?

 Thanks,
 Andreia


 Citando Bruce Fischl fis...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu:

 Hi Andreia

 sorry, I don't understand. What do you mean when you say you want  
 to  show the resulting Brodmann area (only 3 BA) volume in the  
 inflated surface of my subjects. Do you mean just to show what  
 portion of the surface is in each of 3 Brodmann areas? That you  
 would do by loading the relevant labels, although you will probably  
 want to threshold them differently (e.g. V1 you could threshold at  
 .9 which is 90% and it would have about the surface area of an  
 individual, while MT would need to be closer to .4 or .5). Or do  
 you actually mean the volume of gray matter within each BA? If the  
 latter, it's just 3 numbers/subject, so I would think you would  
 want  a scatter plot or something, not a map on the surface.

Hi Erlend, while the images in the tkregister2 pics are oriented

 What does this misalignment influence any further processing with

 This is our command we run for bbregister:

 bbregister --s subj_505 --mov vol0001.nii.gz --reg register-test.dat

Re: [Freesurfer] Load Brodmann surface area into inflated surface

2012-04-23 Thread Bruce Fischl
Hi Andreia,

yes, they will always shrink since the label contains every point that 
could possibly be in the BA, no matter how unlikely. I'll try to find time 
to automatically threshold the BAs so that they have the average area of 
the individual examples, but for now V2 is probably around .7 and MT around 
.4 I think. And yes, I would use ?h.sulc as the background gray scale. The 
volume of the BAs would be computed using both surfaces, but the surface 
area can be from either one. I think we use the white by default, but you 
can use label_area to measure on whatever surface you want.

 The only thing that we have that comes close to quantifying lesions is
 the volume of WM hypointensities. This will likely underestimate the

Re: [Freesurfer] mris_expand not working since upgrading to v.5.1.0

I have encountered this issue running Freesurfer 5.1.0 on both a Mac Pro

 mris_expand -thickness ./lh.white $1 lh.white.expanded



 where $1 is a variable indicating the percentage I wish to expand by. Since
 the version change, mris_expand does not seem to actually change the volume

 enter for $1 (be it very large, very small, or even negative) The command
 appears to run normally as it did in v.4.0.2 and does not give any error

 Have the parameters or flags for this command changed between the versions,

 use instead?

[Freesurfer] your insight: parameter definition and --tnullmin necessary?

2012-04-23 Thread Betina Ip

Dear Freesurfer list,

I am using optseq2 for the first time and wanted to check with you whether my 
protocol makes sense, many thanks in advance for your insight.

1) I start by choosing the maximum scan duration equalling ~30 min:
2) set the psd window so it can capture the entire waveform of a 4 second event
3) select equal amounts of trials for each of the 4 event types, I played 
around with it and 80 trials give me the greatest efficiency (2.72) and 
variance reduction factor average (54.37). Are these values acceptable? They 
are the best I could get tweaking the number of trials.

The command is here:

./optseq2 --ntp 440 --tr 4 --psdwin 0 20 \
   --ev evt1 4 80 \
   --ev evt2 4 80 \
   --ev evt3 4 80 \
   --ev evt4 4 80 \
   --nkeep 3 \
   --o gfatrial \
--focb 10 \
   --nsearch 1

A sample trial list is here:

 0.24.000   1.  evt2
 4.44.000   1.  evt4
 8.04.000   1.  NULL 
12.34.000   1.  evt3
16.34.000   1.  evt3
20.24.000   1.  evt2
…

The other question I had concerns the position of null trials. Many trials are 
not separated by a NULL event, however studies of rapid event-related designs 
to report a minimum ITI, in this case the minimum seems to be 0? To assess the 
effect of forcing a minimum ITI on the sequence, I have run the search defining 
the --tnullmin to 4 sec (equal to 1 TR) however efficiency and VRFAvg drop to 
.79 and 16.07, obviously due to trade of between ntp and ntrials (ntp=440, 
ntrials=62). 

Are NULL trials between each event required at all if a standard FIR is used 
for the analysis? My aim is to first apply a univariate BOLD-analysis and 
subsequently a multivariate analysis to the dataset.  Thanks for clarifying.

Re: [Freesurfer] How to convert a surface to volume space after using mris_preproc?

2012-04-23 Thread Long
Hi Douglas,

I tried to do spatial normalization for volume data, all steps are
following:

1) bbregister --mov fsubj01_rest_res_co_001.hdr --bold --s subj01
--init-fsl --reg bb_register.dat

I checked the result by tkregister2, it looked good.

2) mris_preproc --target fsaverage --hemi lh --iv fsubj01_001.hdr
bb_register.dat --projfrac 0.5 --out lh.zmap.mgh

3) mri_surf2vol --surfval lh.zmap.mgh --hemi lh --identity fsaverage
--outvol subj01_001.nii.gz --projfrac 0.5 --fillribbon --template
wfrest_res_co_001.hdr

However, the output file subj01_001.nii.gz showed wrong orientation when
viewing in MRIcron, the image looked rotated. Could you please help with it?

 What is the size of the *resample* files? The only thing I can think

Hi Jackie,

Sorry that the error is still there. Are you sure that the attached log 
file is for the below command? I am asking as the log file indicates that 
spherical registration is done and that should not happen in Step2.


Also, could you tell me which version of the FS distribution you are 
using? This might be somethig that got fixed in the past.

Re: [Freesurfer] your insight: parameter definition and --tnullmin necessary?

2012-04-23 Thread Douglas N Greve
Hi Betina, see answers below

On 04/23/2012 12:04 PM, Betina Ip wrote:
 Dear Freesurfer list,

 I am using optseq2 for the first time and wanted to check with you whether my 
 protocol makes sense, many thanks in advance for your insight.

 1) I start by choosing the maximum scan duration equalling ~30 min:
You might want to break this up into shorter chunks. It's totally up to 
you, you just don't need to have everything in a single run.
 2) set the psd window so it can capture the entire waveform of a 4 second 
 event
 3) select equal amounts of trials for each of the 4 event types, I played 
 around with it and 80 trials give me the greatest efficiency (2.72) and 
 variance reduction factor average (54.37). Are these values acceptable? They 
 are the best I could get tweaking the number of trials.
You can't tell whether a VRF of 54 is good enough. You are asking a 
question about the power of your experiment, which optseq can't answer. 
If you don't have an effect, then no number of trials or efficiency will 
be good enough. Having said that, I usually shoot for a VRF of between 
20 and 40, but that's just a rule of thumb.

 The command is here:

 ./optseq2 --ntp 440 --tr 4 --psdwin 0 20 \
 --ev evt1 4 80 \
 --ev evt2 4 80 \
 --ev evt3 4 80 \
 --ev evt4 4 80 \
 --nkeep 3 \
 --o gfatrial \
   --focb 10 \
 --nsearch 1

 A sample trial list is here:

   0.24.000   1.  evt2
   4.44.000   1.  evt4
   8.04.000   1.  NULL
 12.34.000   1.  evt3
 16.34.000   1.  evt3
 20.24.000   1.  evt2
 …

 The other question I had concerns the position of null trials. Many trials 
 are not separated by a NULL event, however studies of rapid event-related 
 designs to report a minimum ITI, in this case the minimum seems to be 0? To 
 assess the effect of forcing a minimum ITI on the sequence, I have run the 
 search defining the --tnullmin to 4 sec (equal to 1 TR) however efficiency 
 and VRFAvg drop to .79 and 16.07, obviously due to trade of between ntp and 
 ntrials (ntp=440, ntrials=62).

 Are NULL trials between each event required at all if a standard FIR is used 
 for the analysis? My aim is to first apply a univariate BOLD-analysis and 
 subsequently a multivariate analysis to the dataset.  Thanks for clarifying.
They are not strictly necessary, however, they may be helpful. If you 
really don't want them as part of your design (eg, it would interfere 
with the psychology), then don't use them but make sure to optimize the 
FOCB more (I usually use 100 regardless). The disadvantage of not having 
the nulls is that there will probably be some non-linearity in that the 
second of two closely spaced trials will have a lower amplitude than if 
it occurred in isolation. This will hurt your power and might cause a 
false difference between conditions if they are not well counter-balanced.

Re: [Freesurfer] Cortical Normalization Questions

2012-04-23 Thread Jeff Sadino
Hello,

Thank you Michael for your input.  My feeling was that surface area would
scale with ICV.  In any case, is there any recommendation on how to
normalize the Jacobian?  My other ramble is that since it is already mapped
into a common space, would I normalize the Jacobian, or would I have to
normalize its precurser (surface area) measurement and then re-calculate
the Jacobian?  My last ramble is that since the Jacobian is non-linear, is
it possible to normalize it in a simple linear manner, or would it be a
more complicated non-linear normalization?

I hope that makes sense.  Any feedback would be very greatly helpful!
 Mahalo,
Jeff


Hi Jeff,
I'm confused here.  ICV and surface area are two very different things.

 the Jacobian values, does it make sense to normalize the Jacobian values to
 the ICV?  Or are the Jacobians conceptionally too different from surface

[Freesurfer] Freeview Edit Capability

2012-04-23 Thread Richard Binney
Hi Freesurfers,



I just want to check my observation that Freeview can not currently be used
for editing the WM.mgz or the brainmask.mgz (for minor skull strip errors)
as is done in TKmedit (cf., Edit Tutorial). Is that correct?



I can’t find any documentation on this, and whilst I would assume it to be
a straightforward thing if possible, I can’t work out how I could configure
Freeview voxel edit tools to do this.



I assume that the only edits currently possible in freeview are label/ROI
edits and control point definition. If this is correct, will the other
edits become possible in later versions of Freeview? – this would be great
given the ability to load multiple volumes…for example it is nice to view
the brainmask.mgz over the T1.mgz with the latter’s opacity turned down in
order to quickly detect minor skull strip errors. It would be then nice to
delete (or clone-in) voxels on this set of images (like TKmedit).



Thanks for your help

I spoke about...

a) White matter (WM.mgz) edits - joining WM fingers in the WM.mgz or
filling holes, etc..Should New WM voxels in WM.mgz should be = 255
(brush value)??

b) I can delete skull/dura..should I be replacing  values in dura/skull
voxels with 1 or 0 or what?

Can I do cloning like in TKmedit such that I could replace small bits of
skull-stripped cerebellum in the brainmask.mgz by cloning from the T1.mgz?

In the voxel edits toolbar, what is the reference option for? I was hoping
that it would be for cloning, but apparently not

Re: [Freesurfer] About the GroupAnalysis

2012-04-23 Thread Douglas Greve
It's hard to say without more information, but that looks like a 
contrast vector which is used to test a hypothesis.

 Hi All,
 When we do the GroupAnalysis,there is a vector(such as: 0 0 0.5 0.5).And 
 I just want to know how this vector involve in calculating?

Re: [Freesurfer] Cortical Normalization Questions

2012-04-23 Thread Douglas Greve
Why do you want the jacobian? The surface area is a more interpretable 
measure. If you use surface area, make sure you get the patch for 
mris_preproc.

Hello,

Thank you Michael for your input.  My feeling was that surface area 
would scale with ICV.  In any case, is there any recommendation on how 
to normalize the Jacobian?  My other ramble is that since it is 
already mapped into a common space, would I normalize the Jacobian, or 
would I have to normalize its precurser (surface area) measurement and 
then re-calculate the Jacobian?  My last ramble is that since the 
Jacobian is non-linear, is it possible to normalize it in a simple 
linear manner, or would it be a more complicated non-linear normalization?


I hope that makes sense.  Any feedback would be very greatly helpful! 
 Mahalo,

Jeff


Hi Jeff,
I'm confused here.  ICV and surface area are two very different things.

Thank you everyone for your great input.  After reading through
all of the suggestions and references, I like the idea of using
ICV rather than global averages, at least for this current study.
 However, I do have one more question.  All the papers normalize
on surface area.  If we want to present the Jacobian values, does
it make sense to normalize the Jacobian values to the ICV?  Or are
the Jacobians conceptionally too different from surface areas to
do this?

Thank you,
Jeff

Our reply to that is here
http://bjp.rcpsych.org/content/196/5/414.2.long

which reminded me of other papers that have also used a global
thickness
measure to covary for mean cortical thickness and thereby
address whether
any regional thickness differences were in excess of global
cortical
thickness differences between groups -- see references [1,4]
in our
Reply.

 Hi Michael and others,

 maybe it's this one:

 Hi Jeff,
 I personally like the idea of using average thickness as a
covariate to
 control for a reduction in whole brain thickness, and
have used that
 approach in a paper.  If the Abstract that you mentioned
indicated that
 this is flawed, I'd be curious to know what the reason was...

  Hi Jeff
 
  yes, I think this is still our recommendation for
thickness, although
  perhaps David Salat can verify. As far as surface area,
you might get
  Anderson Winkler to send you a preprint of his newly
accepted paper on
  surface area comparisons and how to do them properly. I
would have
 said
  normalize by the 2/3 root of ICV (maybe David can comment
on this as
 well)

   Hello,
   For cortical thickness normalizations, Bruce said not
to normalize
 based on a HBM
   abstract
   (


http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg06646.html).
  Is
   this still the consensus?
  
   For cortical volume, it is pretty standard to normalize
to eTIV.
  
   For cortical surface area (jacobian), I couldn't find any
 information
 on the wiki.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
  
   Thank you,
