[Freesurfer] Some questions about my analysis

2008-12-11 Thread Christian Scheel
Dear all, I have got several questions about the analysis of my data. Maybe you can help me out: 1) Regarding the different levels of smoothing (FWHM) in Qdec are there already some 'standards' that one should usually stick to? My results look better when I set the smoothing level to 15 or e

[Freesurfer] Discrepancy between sig.nii and .w files

2008-12-11 Thread Jesse Friedman
Hi, I'm using paint-sess to create .w files from a contrast's sig map (I need the .w files for use with MNE). When I view the sig.nii file in tksurfer, the activation differs subtly but noticeably from the .w files. For example, I'll run a command like: paint-sess -analysis EC -contrast eVc -off

I just noticed this about a week ago and have not been able to track it down. The w file (or anything created by mri_vol2surf, which is run by paint-sess) is the gold standard. When tksurfer loads in a volume/registration, it is slightly off. I'm working on why. doug Jesse Friedman wrote: H

[Freesurfer] qdec bug

Hello, I've noticed a behavior in QDEC (v1.1 under FS v4.1.0) that appears to be a bug regarding the "slopes" output to the terminal, and the corresponding regression lines displayed in the scatterplot, when using more than one continuous covariate. I ran an analysis on cortical thickness on a g

Hi Tricia, If you have nice cortical reconstructions, there should not be any consideration in calculating the lGI, it will be done automatically and will not need any special change (except if you want to try with different radii). However, you are right that there is a certain extent o

it is automatically computed by mri_glmfit and used to compute the fwhm (saved in fwhm.dat). I'm working on an RFT-based correction for multiple comparisons correction, and that requires fwhm. You also need it if you are going to use the monte-carlo-based simulation. doug Michael Harms wrote:

Christian, as long as all your subjects were recon-all'd using the same version (4.0.2), then you can use qdec and mri_glmfit from 4.05 or 4.10. Nick > > 4) All of recon-all has been run with Freesurfer 4.02 for all subjects - > is it OK to use Freesurfer 4.05 or 4.10 for the analysis? > Best

Rysia, btw, there is a flag you can run in recon-all to check if the vertex numbers on all the files are the same: recon-all -s subjid -vno_match_check it calls the script vno_match_check, which is a handy qa tool. Nick On Thu, 2008-12-11 at 15:18 +, Burmicz, Ryzarda wrote: > Hello, > >
