[Freesurfer] Converting V1 labels to nifti

2011-12-20 Thread Anders Hougaard
Dear Freesurfers, I would like to use V1 labels (created with the Hinds method) for a ROI-based analysis on data analyzed with FSL FEAT using FSL featquery. I have not run a full recon-all segmentation, only recon-all -s subjid -label-v1 I need to convert the labels to nifti volumes while

[Freesurfer] recon-all results

2011-12-20 Thread LAOUCHEDI MAKHLOUF
hi everyone   i run recon-all on some datasets using freesurfer version 5.1. Instead of having  aparc.a2009s+aseg.mgz at the end of recon-all, i had aparc.a2005s+aseg.mgz. what to do to have the good dataset (2009 instead of 2005) thanks

[Freesurfer] Downsampling pial surfaces and mapping output to fsaverage6

2011-12-20 Thread Ecker, Christine
Dear FreeSurfer Experts, I would like to down-sample the pial surface of individual subjects to have the same number of vertices as fsaverage6. I have done so using: mri_surf2surf --hemi lh --srcsubject 'subjectID' --sval-xyz pial --trgsubject fsaverage6 --trgicoorder 6 --trgsurfval

Hi Christine I think you do it the same way, just using -sval instead of -sval-xyz (since you are mapping a scalar field instead of the coordinates). cheeers Bruce On Tue, 20 Dec 2011, Ecker, Christine wrote: Dear FreeSurfer Experts, I would like to down-sample the pial surface of

Re: [Freesurfer] Surface-based cortical volume calculation

Hi Andreia, The XhCortexVol measures in the aseg.stats of FS v5.1 are identical to: `mris_volume Xh.pial` - `mris_volume Xh.white` To my knowledge, that measure is therefore simply the difference of the volume encapsulated by the two surfaces. My point was that the surface inaccuracies in the

Many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the option -sval didn't work and it is still using the old sphere.reg file. I was however wondering whether mri_surf2surf already sorts vertices and hence makes them comparable. For instance, is vertex 1 on the resampled surface the closest match to

Hi Donald, I have a paper almost published on the longitudinal stream including several repeatability measures (although not everything that you ask for). Let me know if you want to take a peek at it before it goes out. I might be able to send a pre-print version. Best, Martin On Tue,

[Freesurfer] mri_matrix_multiply to move functional images to common space

2011-12-20 Thread Andrew Dumas
Hi, I'm trying to move a bunch of partial FOV functional images (occipital cortex only with oblique coronal slices) into common space. For each subject, I have a registration file (register.dat) to register functional images to anatomicals, and I'd like to incorporate the talairach.xfm

Re: [Freesurfer] Selxavg3 sets high activation to zero

2011-12-20 Thread Douglas N Greve
I think this is due to the high DOF and probably high t-value causing the significance in matlab to be computed as 0. This gets converted to Inf (infinity) when the -log10(p) calculation is made, then the Inf gets set to 0 when the volume is saved. The quick fix for you is to change

Hi Andrew, use mri_vol2vol with the --tal --talres 2 or 2mm option (or --talres 1 for 1mm isotropic) option. This will put it into an MNI305 space. So something like mri_vol2vol --reg register.dat --mov yourvolume.nii --tal --talres 2 --o yourvolume.mni305.nii If you did not create the
