[Freesurfer] Optseq2 Null Events between every Event

2011-09-20 Thread Anita Cservenka
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to use optseq2 to get null events (e.g. fixation) between each event type. I would like to see the optimal sequence of trials for a design that involves two event types (each 0.5 sec), 60 TRs for one event, 26 TRs for the other, and a 2sec TR. I would like

Hi I want to know if there is any limit for the automatic registration of functional scans on structural ones when we are scanning activity just in a specific part of the brain (e.g. occipital cortex). ___ Freesurfer mailing list Freesurfer@nmr.mgh

Hi Michael, the vertices in the patch file won't necessarily be in order (in general they won't be), so we couldn't just get rid of the vno lines. I guess we could have come up with a format that had all the indices, then all the coords, but it's not the way I wrote it (sorry). Not sure I un

2011-09-20 Thread Nick Schmansky
you can select age, IQ and mean thickness as 'nuisance' variables, and then your group can be the main discrete variable. as for mean thickness causing a failure, it it probably the case that the values are too close to each other. treating mean thickness as a covariate is probably not necessary
