Re: [Freesurfer] fsaverage

2012-03-29 Thread Andreas Berger
hi,

that line from the wiki appears to be in tcsh syntax, you are using bash, 
which is the default shell of most operating systems. you can try either in 
bash, like this:

if [ ! -e fsaverage ]; then ln -s $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage; fi

...or in tcsh, which you might need to install first, then invoke it, like:

tcsh

if (! -e fsaverage) ln -s $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage


regards,
andreas

 I'm trying to run qdec on my own data and I'm trying to create fsaverage.
 Following the wiki tutorial, I copied the command:

 Can anyone help me in understanding why this happened?

[Freesurfer] TRACULA and CVS space

2012-03-29 Thread Antonella Kis
Hi,

I would like to know if for a probabilistic tractrography using TRACULA I can 
use the CVS space as a common template to register the diffusion data instead 
of  MNI template.

How I should change for the CVS space the following:
set doregmni = 1 which is the default for the MNI space. If I want to use both 
MNI template and CVS template for comparison purposeshow this can be done?

THANKS.

We've not released CVS template /Priors for tracula yet. You can only use
MNI template for tracula now. We're still testing CVS.

Re: [Freesurfer] TRACULA and CVS space

2012-03-29 Thread Anastasia Yendiki


Note that tracula doesn't extract from the atlas the exact spatial 
location of the tracts. It only extracts which anatomical labels are the 
neighbors of the tract at each point along its trajectory. So it's not as 
sensitive to misregistration as a voxel-based analysis would be. Our paper 
discusses all this:

2012-03-29 Thread Lilla Zollei


Hi Cheol,

I am using freesurfer for patients with various neural disease. I wonder the 
the

freesurfer atlas is applicable to them: dementia (with Lewy bodies, DLB),
epilepsy, schizophrenia, ADHD, Alzheimer, stroke. (I know some studies 
already

used freesurfer for some of the diseases in the list,) I believe epilepsy
patients with lobectomy cannot be applicable.  


If the malformation or the difference between normal control acquisitions 
and your scans is significant the FS pipeline, using the FS atlas is not 
going to be successful. Withuot seeing your data I cannot tell which 
population from the above is going to be affected, but if in doubt just 
try processing one or two representative samples from the different 
populations and assess how successful the processing is.


Also is there age limit for the freesurfer atlas? How young can the atlas 
work

for? 4 year-old? 6 year-old? or more than 10 year-old? How about the upper
bound? 80 year-old? 


The lower bound, in our experience, is about 4-5 yrs. Of course, it 
depends on your data quality but we had success all the way down to that 
age. I am not aware of any upper limits. Again, if you are processing 
these kind of extreme populations, make sure that you inspect the 
outcome of the FS recon pipeline carefully before proceeding with any 
type of analysis.

[Freesurfer] roi-to-roi functional connectivity analysis

2012-03-29 Thread Lingqiang Kong
Hi Surfers,

Has anyone done ROI-to-ROI functional connectivity analysis using Freesurfer?

Current FC pipeline computes the seed-to-voxel correlation for each voxel
and thus generates a whole brain correlation map. Is there an easy way to
compute the 0-lag correlation between the average time course of two ROIs?

One way I presume can work is to take the average time courses generated
from the fcseed-sess and do it by hand. For example, just compute the
correlation coefficient between lh.hippo.dat and rh.hippo.dat. But
does that regress out the white matter and ventricles?

Is there a way to do this properly? What should go to the mkanalysis-sess
in this case?

Thank you for your help.

Lingqiang

I appreciate your answers. It was very helpful. Just another follow-up
question. I think freesurfer itself ended without errors and the
skull-stripped and surfaces look okay. I think in the recommended
reconstruction Pipeline, check segmentation is related to checking atlas
worked. Still, I wonder there is a gold standard to check the atlas
(Deksian atlas) works okay. .
