Hi Jose, people have told me that they are happy with the mp2rage sequence, but it hasn't been great for us. How do you propose to get good data in the bottom half of the brain in some scans and the top half in others? Change the flip angle? I guess you could try building an RMS image if you

[Freesurfer] Dummy Scans and Paradigm Files

Hello, My name is David Brohawn, and I am one of Dr. Roffman's research assistants. We run the SIRP and N-Back memory tests with our subjects. We have specified for 3 dummy scans to take place at the beginning of each of these protocols, which takes 6 seconds of scanning time, respectively.

It depends exactly how you triggered your paradigm. If you used the scanner to trigger the start of your stimulation, then you do not include the 6 sec when preparing your paradigm files. doug Dave Brohawn wrote: Hello, My name is David Brohawn, and I am one of Dr. Roffman's research

Thank you Bruce for you answer, but i still have the doubt, is motion correction from the FSL the method to average the images? or is another method... I wrote motion correction cuz in the -help of recon-all says that theyr made in the same step, but not to be the same process. but whatever is

Hi Gabriel, I'm not sure I know what you mean. I think we use flirt to compute the motion parameters, then we just average the images in the aligned space (which I think is to the first scan specified, but Doug would know) cheers Bruce On Thu, 1 Jul 2010, Gabriel Go.Es. wrote: Thank you

yes, the first image is the template. I think it uses flirt. Recent versions may use Martin's robust registration. doug Bruce Fischl wrote: Hi Gabriel, I'm not sure I know what you mean. I think we use flirt to compute the motion parameters, then we just average the images in the aligned

OK, so the alignment is to perform a simple average? that way, the real goal of the method is the registration before averaging, am I right? in versions like 4.05 what was the alignmen method, was the flirt? Do you know if Martin's robust registration is now implemented or will come in the
