[Freesurfer] extracting pial surface area numbers...

2016-03-21 Thread Karl Liu
Dear FS team, My question is how I should extract the measure of pial surface area from a significant cluster after group-analysis. I performed statistical analysis in QDEC, choosing pial surface area as the measure. I found a significant cluster. Now I would to extract the surface area of this

Thank you for your comment, Bruce. Regardless of technical issues, I am still troubled by the small magnitude of extracted value of pial surface area. Following group comparison and correction in QDEC, there is a significant cluster (size: 760 mm^2). In order to make a bar group of group means,

Dear FS team: I want to ask for some advice on how to extract the values of pial surface area. I use QDEC to perform a surface-based F-test. The measurement is area.pial and the smoothing is 10 in QDEC. After correction, there is one significant cluster with size of ~760 mm^2. The problem comes

[Freesurfer] For Monte Carlo simulation, QDEC GUI or in-line command?

2016-03-11 Thread Karl Liu
Dear Freesurfer Experts: I repost a question I have when applying Monte Carlo simulation to control for multiple comparisons. Your help is much appreciated. I did the correction via QDEC GUI. In the section of Monte Carlo Null-Z simulation, I set Threshold: 2.0 (0.01) and Sign: neg.
