[Freesurfer] FW: Functional group analysis
Dear FreeSurfer team, I'm working on a functional analysis using FreeSurfer. I've already preprocessed my fMRI data and now I would like to analyze this data using mri_glmfit. My input is the prepared beta estimates for the fmri data (regression coefficients) and two groups (with activated regions for different muscles in the hand; musculus abductor digiti minimi vs first dorsal interossei). I do not want to smooth my data. Which command/step do you suggest in order to implement this data into mri_glm? I've experimented with mris_preproc and the creation of a FSGD-file in the structural analysis in order to implement my data in the GLM. Best, Silas From: silasniel...@hotmail.com To: freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Subject: Functional group analysis Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2015 14:26:20 +0200 Dear FreeSurfer team, I'm currently doing a functional group analysis using FreeSurfer by following your tutorial: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsFastTutorialV5.1/FsFastGroupLevel - in order to concatenate the subjects data into one file you suggest using the command isxconcat-sess. My questions is; is it possible to use the command mris_preproc as in the structural analysis in this step? I simply want to project functional beta-values onto the fsaverage surface and analyze if there is a statistical significant difference between two groups (after correcting for multiple comparisons).

[Freesurfer] recon-all pipeline for (sub-millimeter) 7T data
Hello! I wrote a bash script some time ago to process data acquired at a sub-millimeter resolution following the nice wiki entry of Falk Lüsebrink (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/HiResRecon). I thought it might be helpful for others, too, as there are some questions about it in the mailing list archives, so here it is: https://github.com/thomastweets/freesurfer-7t-pipeline. I am happy about any comments!

[Freesurfer] Fwd: Recon-all different execution time for same subjects
Dear freesurfer experts, I'm performing a study about the variability of the execution time of recon-all. I noticed that the execution of recon-all in Freesurfer 5.3 for two identical MRIs (two copies of the same MRI), takes different execution time. I'm performing the execution using GPUs capability, but the same is happening for the CPU-only executions. Checking the output logs I found i.e CA Reg, the number of the iterations is different, what's the main source of this variability? I guess that maybe It is related to some random seeds used and the convergence of the implemented methods. CA Reg example: Execution Time 1 - Subject 1: 00:25:23 Execution Time 2 - Subject 1: 00:32:14 In both cases the computing node was used exclusively for the recon-all execution. Did you measured the percentage of this variability? Can we extract some measures to compare the work realized in each execution? I'm thinking on the number of GPU kernels executed, the number of the iterations of the methods...

[Freesurfer] FS Developer v6 Hippocampal Segmentation
Hello, We’re going to be rerunning FS Recon-all using the newest version of FS v6 developer’s edition. Before any data is pre-processed, we wanted to receive input from other users on their own experience using it, specifically the Hippocampal subfield segmentation protocol. Are people receiving any unusual errors? Is there a lower resolution or less accurate segmentation of other cortical or subcortical structures? Any input would be great.

Re: [Freesurfer] cortical parcelling with freesurfer
Hi Martin and Bruce, Thanks for your replies! I thought, maybe I am wrong, that a reference subject could be the best choice for my purposes. however, in principle, can I do the same procedure as you described for my reference subject as well? or similarly, can I use MNI standard surface, creating the annot file I desire and going for mri_surf2surf to get the mapping on each subject? Best wishes Antonio Hi Antonio, why not draw your labels on fsaverage, and then map them to each subject (look at mri_surf2surf or mri_label2label, mri_segstats ). In my opinion you don't need the do all the registration of volumes, you only work on surfaces. Probably someone here can give you the exact commands for creating an annotation, mapping it to the subjects and computing stats. Best, Martin Hi Antonio if you want the parcels to be in register you should use the sphere.reg instead of the sphere file in mris_make_face_parcellation.

Since I cannot do GCs atlas on my own, the main idea is running recon_all for all of them and then register via mri_cvs_register all subjects to one; first question: shall I run bbregister before mri_cvs_register or the latter will take care of everything? Once I have done that I do parcel the cortical stuff in the reference subject by using the command: mris_make_face_parcellation ${SUBJECTS_DIR}/${subjid}/surf/lh.sphere ${FREESURFER_HOME}/lib/bem/ic3.tri ${SUBJECTS_DIR}/${subjid}/label/lh.ic3.annot I am not sure if that is correct...any hints will be very appreciated. After that I am facing the problem of translating the lh.ic3.annot to the surface of each subject in his original space; running mri_cvs_register I get two resampled pial (lh.resample.pial and lh.dbg_surf.pial: I am not sure which one must be used and I am not sure what is the difference between them), but how can I get the parcellation back to the space of each suject? Mri_vol2vol seems to be working with volumes only whereas I would need to apply the m3z to surfaces. Shall I convert the annot to label and then to volumes so that I can apply the warping directly to the volumes or is there a shortcut way to do so?

Re: [Freesurfer] cortical parcelling with freesurfer

Re: [Freesurfer] FS Developer v6 Hippocampal Segmentation
Hi Noah, I cannot provide you with an unbiased opinion of the new subfield module, but something you can do is to download the development version and run the subfield code on data processed with FS 5.3 (assuming you have some), in order to get an idea of what the segmentations look like.
