Re: [Freesurfer] mri_glmfit-sim doubt
It should be the case that the clusters in the 2.3 should be clusters in the 1.3, but there p-values will be different. It is possible that a cluster that is sig in the 2.3 is not sig in the 1.3, particularly small clusters like the two you have shown.

Re: [Freesurfer] question about weighted regression analysis
I assume that you are comparing maps of Version1:1v0 and Version2:2v0 ? I could imagine it going either way. If the true slope is 0 but the offset is non-0, then Version1 will give you an artificially high slope (and Verion2 will give you the correct slope at 0, and so no activation). Are you comparing this to a BV analysis? doug Katie Bettencourt wrote: So I created a weighted regression analysis to look at the effect of memory load in a particular brain region. Basically, I weighted the paradigms by a behavioral measure that reflected the number of items actually remembered (as set size was increased). As far as Doug told me there are basically 2 ways to weight your paradigm files. Version 1: Have 2 conditions, baseline (condition 0) and all the set sizes (condition 1). Condition 1 would then be weighted by the behavioral measure. Version 2: Have 3 conditions, baseline (condition 0), and then I represented each presentation as two different conditions, one with a weight that is always 1 (condition 1), the other weighted according to the behavioral measure (condition 2). The difference, as far as I understand it, in version 1, it is assumed that the response amplitude is ) when the weight is 0 (ie. that when you are attending to 0 items, brain activity = 0). Whereas, version 2, tests the slope of the HRF amplitude vs weight without the assumption above. However, I'm a bit confused as to the results I got. When I looked at the data from both versions, version 1 provided a much higher amount of activation and more areas activated than version 2. However, I believe version 2 better fits with the multiple regression analysis that is done in Brain Voyager. Can anyone give me a better explanation of what the difference between these analysis models is? Katie -- Douglas N.

Re: [Freesurfer] question about weighted regression analysis
You should also look at Version2:1v0. I bet a lot of the areas from Version1:1v0 will also show up. You can also create a Version3 in which you divide your presentations into a low-weight and a high-weight (but set the weight=1). Then create contrasts of low+high and high-low. The low+high should look like Version2:1v0 and the high-low should look like Version2:2v0. doug Katie Bettencourt wrote: Yes, those are the maps Ive been comparing. I've been comparing it to BV sort of, but that analysis is not surface based and Im not used to it, so I can't quite tell which is more accurate, though Version 2 gives a much smaller area of activity, which fits with the description of what I've been given about what to expect in BV. Attached is two pictures of the difference I get for Version 1:1v0 (labeled with single in the image name) and Version 2:2v0 (labeled with double in the name). As you can see, Version1 activates a much larger area than Version 2.

[Freesurfer] recon-all on data with anatomical abnormality or strong artifact
Hi, I run into the following error when running recon-all. ERROR: _FindFacePath: could not find path! in the process: Correcting Topology of defect 2 with euler number -9 (5 loops) computing statistics for defect 2: 1934 vertices location: [ (93,119,57) - average intensity = 85.136 ] The subject also has a huge anatomical abnormality or possibly an artifact ventral of the cerebellum (between cerebellum and pons). Brainmask.mgz also shows striping. When running the old topology fixer the following error occurs: mris_fix_topology: could not read brain volume from /mindhive/gablab/rhythm/cacophonix_July10/freesurfer_data/cacix7/mri/brain however, brain.mgz is there and loadable in tkmedit. Could the artifact be the reason for all this or is there another issue?

Re: [Freesurfer] recon-all on data with anatomical abnormality or strong artifact
Hi Eveline can you send us an image? What was your commandline for mris_fix_topology? I think you need to specify -mgz cheers Bruce On Tue, 22 Feb 2011, Eveline Geiser wrote: Hi, I run into the following error when running recon-all.

Re: [Freesurfer] mkanalysis-sess says ERROR: bad format for seq.info file
Hi all, Just for the record I comment that the problem was solved. It was the name of the sequence, which containted the sting TR. This messed up the sanity checks mkanalysis-sess. Thank you very much taking a look at it.
