[Freesurfer] 1 Group (2 Levels) 2 Covariates

2012-06-14 Thread Jeff Sadino
Hello, I want to do an analysis with 1 Group (Control and HIV) with two covariates (Age and ICV). Qdec only lets me choose one covariate. So instead I choose two nuisance variables. No matter how many different permutations I run on this, I can not get it to duplicate my SAS results, and the Qd

[Freesurfer] Scripting with fs 5.1 vs 5.0

2012-06-14 Thread Nicole Senecal
Hi all, I'm having trouble getting anything through on 5.1 using scripts, although I can run recon-all at the commandline. I'm running freesurfer on a remote cluster, not locally. Specifics of the cluster itself aside, with 5, I could run: *vbbatch -c * *"PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/freesurfer_64bit_5;

Dear Freesurfers, I'm really glad to see the (relatively) new functional connectivity commands. It seems to be working really well. Has anyone tried to do task-related functional connectivity? I would like to compare functional connectivity with the hippocampus during two different conditions of

Dear Freesurfer Experts, For one of our studies, I have used QDEC to analyze the relationship between cortical thickness and a series of variables. I wanted to double check to see if it is okie to have a qdec table which only includes the diseased population and the covariates (such as FSIQ). Af

Aiko, Per question (1), there will always be slight differences due to the nature of our algorithms, but the thing to do to convince yourself that the differences are not significant is to conduct a group analysis (following the procedures we describe in our tutorials) comparing say 4threads to 8t

[Freesurfer] suggestions for bandpass filters?

Dear all, I would like to apply a bandpass filter both to my fMRI data as well as to regressors in my GLM. I was wondering whether anyone has suggestions for particular filter types and filter orders? I find this seldomly reported in fMRI papers. I was thinking in using Matlab's filtfilt. Any sugge

Hi Nick, I confirmed that the program run in multi-thread mode by adding the "-openmp" flag. Thank you so much for your help. May I ask a few more questions? (1) Again, I find minor difference between the two results obtained by running in single-thread and multi-thread mode (say, numthreads i
