Linda,

You might want to check if the disk is full or not by using df command.

Hi,

I'd been having trouble with recon-all -all -subjid [mysubject], so I broke 
it down with -autorecon1 and -autorecon2.  -autorecon1 worked fine, it seems 
that the problem is somewhere in -autorecon2.  I've included the system 
information below, as well as the error message I got, and the recon-all log.  
I've tried this with another subject as well and the same error occurs.  It'd 
be great if someone could tell me what the problem is and how I can fix it.

[Freesurfer] when to invoke reg-feat2anat in fsl ppi

2011-11-19 Thread Michelle Umali
Dear Freesurfers,
I am using seeds based on Freesurfer masks to run a PPI analysis and am
wondering if I am using reg-feat2anat at the right fsl feat registration
step.

First, I ran an fsl analysis to generate a feat directory.
Then I ran reg-feat2anat using that feat directory.
Next I ran aseg2feat and fslmaths to generate binary masks
Next I extracted the timeseries by using the filtered func of the feat and
the binary masks from aseg2feat.

So now I want to do another feat analysis, but this time using the
extracted timeseries
But  this timeseries is based on the first feat and associated masks from
the reg-feat2anat registration.

1) Is it still valid to use this timeseries in this new feat since FSL will
be running another registration?
2) Do I have to run reg-feat2anat again?

Thanks.
Michelle

[Freesurfer] gcut memory requirements

2011-11-19 Thread Michael Harms

Hello,
Approximately how much memory does one need when using the -gcut option
with FS 5.1?  I had submitted 30+ recons to a cluster that alloted a
default of 2.5 GB for processes submitted under this particular queue,
and all of them aborted with a bad_alloc error at the gcut stage of
skull stripping.

Should 4 GB be sufficient?

thanks,
-MH

Re: [Freesurfer] gcut memory requirements

2011-11-19 Thread Mehul Sampat
Hi Michael,
I had the same issue a few months ago. In my experience 4GB was sufficient.
If there are constraints on the memory, I think 3 GB should also work.

I also had the same issue with -gcut and FS 5.0.  Back then I had tried to
figure out what was
the minimum memory required since I had some memory constraints. I was
running jobs on cluster where each node had 16 cores and 32 GB total memory
(that could be divided between the 16 cores).  At most I was able to run 12
recons on each node.
So the minimum memory required was ~ 2.7 GB (32 GB/12).
