[Freesurfer] optseq and psychometric function

2006-07-04 Thread Betina

Dear List:

I have a question concerning optimizing the presentation of a psycho- 
metric SCASE procedure with optseq. Subjects will view two  
interleaved SCASE in the scanner. SCASE1 and SCASE2 test the whole  
length of stimuli strengths for two different conditions. To obtain  
the best sequences in optseq do I register SCASE1 and SCASE2 as two  
conditions, or should the individual test steps (ie at 10, 20, 30  
% ...) be listed individually as conditions ?


Does registering only SCASE1 or SCASE2 without breaking down into  
individual test units provide accurate efficiency and cost functions  
in optseq ?


Finally, is an efficiency of 25 good for such a design ?

Thank  you very much for your help!

Re: [Freesurfer] registration problems

2006-07-04 Thread Bruce Fischl
I agree with Nick. Are you sure it's not still running? Looks to me like it 
is. Did it actually segfault? mri_ca_register can take a *long* time to 
run: 10-20 hours depending on the computer and the brain.

Dear freesurfers,

I got some problems running the mri_ca_register bit of recon-all. The script 
suddenly
brakes down while labeling for the right thalamus is running. Occured twice on 
the same
spot...

my specifications:

recon.log file is attached

any help is greatly appreciated

many

[Freesurfer] cluster analysis with mri_glmfit

2006-07-04 Thread d . g . lawyer
Hi,

I have a couple of specific questions regarding cluster analysis with
mri_glmfit that weren't answered at the course the other week and on which
the documentation is slightly vauge.

My data includes continuous variables (age and IQ, matching the
documentaion!) so I should use MC simulation instead of permutation. I
have 70 subjects in each group (case/control). The course notes say I can
use the mc-z if I have O(80) subjects. How can I tell if I have enough
subjects; is there a statistical test that would show if the outputs are
reasonable? I would think 70 is close enough to 80, but would like to be
able to test it as I assume it is going to depend to a certain extent on
the data.

The notes say I need to supply the fwhm of the residual. This value is
easy to find in the y file, but it is not clear how to specify it to
mri_glmfit. Do we use the --fwhm flag as in the example on page 104/202 in
the coursebook? Note that the example uses mc-full, not mc-z, and that the
--fwhm flag an arguement to mri_glmfit, not a part of the --sim flag.

Finally, with regard to the clustering. The commmand as given in the
course notes (pg 104/202) works, but the example does not match
mri_surfcluster --help. Specifically, the --help text does not mention
(that I could see) the --src flag or the --ocp flag. We are using the
example from the course as our template. What is the output of the --ocp
flag?

Thanks!

Re: [Freesurfer] printing out from tksurfer and tkmedit

2006-07-04 Thread Don Hagler
If there is interest, I could post my shell script for generating a tcl 
script and running tksurfer (with an option to write to rgb).  I have 
another one that will render all w files in a particular directory (as 
rgb's) and another that will render all frames from an mgh (painted surface) 
file (as tif's).


With the older version of tksurfer, you can render offscreen, which is 
convenient for batches of files (because otherwise your monitor is unusable 
for a long time).

but you could write a tcl script to do it automatically

No, sorry, saving TIFFs is the only output that tkmedit and tksurfer
do of that kind.
