Hi, I have a problem with make_average_subject. After running all commands (including ln -s $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage and recon-all -s subjid -qcache for all my subjects) about running QDEC, I found that QDEC could not analysis my group. Because the group have 1 factor and

Hi all, I have 2 groups of subjects and I want to do a volume group analysis to compare volumes of subcortical structures. I have to run my analysis with the command-line methods but I don't know the correct flags to use with the commands (mris_preproc and mri_glmfit). Can you help me? Can

[Freesurfer] fdr thresholds in tksurfer compared to Nichol's function

2009-06-25 Thread Lars M. Rimol
Hi, I've used the fdr function in tksurfer and compared the results to Tom Nichol's matlab function (http://www.sph.umich.edu/~nichols/FDR/). I use p = 10.^-abs(pfile), where pfile is 'sig.mgh'. I find that the p-threshold (pID, assuming positive dependence) is usually exactly the same

Hi, Please disregard my previous mail. I was a little too trigger happy..., the 1.928 threshold set by tksurfer is too high for any vertex to survive so the two methods DO concur. I should actually look at the maps and not just the output... The reason I asked is that I'm combining

Use the fast_fdrthresh matlab function provided in the fsfast/toolbox directory in freesurfer. It gives the same results as tksurfer. Cheers Jorge Luis Bernal Rusiel Phd Student Laboratory of Functional Neuroscience. University of Pablo de Olavide. Seville. Spain --- El jue, 25/6/09, Lars

[Freesurfer] labels

Hi I have four questions on label-design: 1.) Is there a way do design labels of a certain geometric form (e.g. a circle or a square with a standardized diameter) in tksurfer ? 2.) Can I move an existing label from one positition to another defined position (e.g. center it on some particular

Feng-Xian, It appears that you do not have permission on your system to change the limits. So you will have to edit the scripts make_average_volume, make_average_surface and make_average_subject to comment out the 'limit' line, so that it looks like this: #limit descriptors unlimited Nick

Feng-xian, I should also mention that i dont think creating your own average subject will solve the problem you describe, where you need to work with three levels in your group. for that, you wont be able to use qdec, but will need to run things manually. these pages give examples:

Anita, to add to that comment, you would use asegstats2table to create the text file of data of your subjects and their stats of volumetric data, which can be imported into any stats package. see this page: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/VolumetricGroupAnalysis while its

It means that you have an ill-conditioned design matrix. It is probably the case that your discrete or continuous variables are redundant or that you don't have members in all your classes. doug Toh Hock Wong wrote: Hi to all, I have been having troubles with qdec and several error

You will have to do it with the command-line stream. Ie, set up your own FSGD file with classes and covariates, run mris_preproc, create your own contrasts, then run mri_glmfit. There are examples on the wiki. doug Feng-Xian wrote: Hi, I have a problem of group analysis with QDEC. Now, I

You don't *have to* to run make_average_subject to do your analysis, only if you want to view the results on a map with the curvature patterns averaged over your subjects. As for the limit error, how old is your version of freesurfer? That line was removed about 1.5 years ago... doug
