[Freesurfer] Mapping group fMRI on surface

2007-11-13 Thread Martin Kavec
Hi, I can not find my way to map the results of the FSL fMRI group analysis (FLAME1+2) from different subjects on their average surface. Here is in more details what I have done: 1. fMRI analysis of each subject in FSL 2. group analysis (FLAME1+2) in FSL 3. cortical reconstruction of each

Hi Linda, we haven't found any problems in that age range. Down to 3 years old is probably fine, although if you were scanning that young there might be some things we would advise. 1l years old is no problem though. cheers, Bruce On Tue, 13 Nov 2007, Linda.E Campbell wrote: Hi, I am

we haven't distributed it yet, but it would just take the form of label maps with associated probabilities in fsaverage space. You would need to do our surface-based averaging for it to apply. We haven't gotten the auditory cortex data yet, but probably could if you were interested. On Tue,

Hello- I'm running FreeSurfer v4.01on SUSE Linux I'm interested in viewing the sub-cortical parcels, /mri/aseg.mgz, but in the native MRI space. I see that the output of CA Label produces a file that is fit to the CA Normalize step but I can't figure out the transform that was used.

Hello, I've become confused about the direction of the transformation specified in the talairach.xfm file. It seems that if you manually specify the --targ and --mov volumes in conjunction with the --xfm option, that the target must be the talairach average to get proper alignment: e.g.,

Joel, All freesurfer volume files, including aseg.mgz, are in native MRI space. The various talairach transforms are used to align to the atlases used in freesurfer. I'm not sure what you mean by 'norm' space. The --apply_transform flag of mri_convert can be used to convert a volume to

Yes, it is quite confusing, and like most confusing things it is historical in nature. When tkregister was originally written by Anders/Marty, they set it up to map from the targ RAS to the mov RAS. From an internal standpoint, it makes sense, but it is backards when you think about moveable

You mean you want to display your group volume-based results on the average surface? That's unusual, but it can be done. You need to create a registration file between your group average and the standard space templage, eg, something like: fslregister --mov
