Re: [Freesurfer] Cortical thickness issues

2008-07-10 Thread David Perlman
Just to clarify, at each point means at each same-numbered node in the mesh for the white and pial surfaces. (Right?) What has never been clear to me is, in what sense are the same- numbered nodes in those two meshes the same point? Is this accepted as a convenient convention based on the

I am no expert, but if I may make a small suggestion based on the image you have provided? I don't know exactly what you're comparing in your VBM, but if indeed there is on average a difference in *shape* of the cortex between the groups you are comparing, then it is not at all surprising

Re: [Freesurfer] subcortical segmentation

2007-06-01 Thread David Perlman
On this topic, if I *don't* want subcortical segmentation, but rather only surface generation and thickness maps, what's the best option to use for that? It seems like it might be -noaseg, but I couldn't find any references to this flag being used with human data, only with non- human

[Freesurfer] recon_all -long

2007-05-08 Thread David Perlman
I wonder if I've reached my new-user quota of questions yet? My brand-new installation of Freesurfer doesn't seem to have the - long option available on recon-all described in Xiao Han's page on the wiki. Is this referring to a beta version of recon-all? thanks... --

Re: [Freesurfer] vertex normals

2007-05-07 Thread David Perlman
OK, so if you load in an mgh file containing (say) thickness data, you'll get a mri struct where mri.vol is Nx1x1 where N is the number of vertices. So far so good. How is the data structured if you load in an mgh file containing surface normals? On May 7, 2007, at 5:31 PM, Doug Greve

[Freesurfer] mri_surf2surf resampling does not give same number of nodes

2007-05-07 Thread David Perlman
I think I must be misunderstanding something about the way mri_surf2surf works. I thought it was supposed to resample onto the target mesh, which I would think would mean that resampling two different data files onto the same target mesh would give outputs with the same numbers of nodes.

Re: [Freesurfer] mri_surf2surf resampling does not give same number of nodes

2007-05-07 Thread David Perlman
Hmm, and then in Matlab it would be: datastruct=MRIread('t7tot1-lh.thickness.mgh'); datavol=datastruct.vol; data=datavol(:,1,1,1); except that it might be reshaped so if I want to read surface data in mgh format I have to check for reshaping and then un-reshape it as necessary... there

[Freesurfer] ascii and mri_surf2surf??

2007-05-06 Thread David Perlman
Forgive me if I'm simply missing the obvious, but as far as I can tell, mri_surf2surf is not capable of writing output in *any* of the surface formats listed in the Freesurfer surface formats document on the wiki, except .w paint format. Also, mris_convert doesn't accept .w as input; so
