The STS seed is mainly for testing purposes (not as many seed points as the whole WM), the final analysis will use all WM voxels as seeds though. In fact,when I run the analysis with WM as the seed the results look equally strange: only connectivity to what appears to be the right inferior posterior cortex. Could this be an issue with the seed-space to dti-space parameters? -M On Sun, Jul 19, 2015 at 5:31 PM, Glasser, Matthew <glass...@wusm.wustl.edu> wrote: What is it that you are trying to achieve?  Usually one uses a seed of all white matter voxels with matrix3.

However, the results don't make any sense, so I think there might be something wrong in my processing pipeline. Would you mind having a quick look at it and see if I do something wrong? Attached is the pipeline and a screenshot from the matrix as loaded in MATLAB. As you can see from the screenshot, there is only very limited number of none zeros. And weirdest of all, they appear at column indices which are probably somewhere in the right hemisphere (seed is in the left).

I was just wondering how to proceed with converting the .dot file from probtrackx to cifti using wb_command -probtrackx-dot-convert (for visualisation in wb_view). Specifically, what cifti file can I use as input for the -row-cifti option? So, what files released with the HCP data contain the correct brainmap? Thx -Maarten _______________________________________________________________ Hi You need to create such a file that contains the 90k grayordinates. To ensure consistency we do that in MNI 2mm space: - First create surface files in an FSL friendly format. Use the 32k surfaces, as the vertices are ~2mm apart. Left Surface: surf2surf -i $Subject/MNINonLinear/fsaverage_LR32k/${Subject}.L.white.32k_fs_LR.surf.gii -o white.L.asc --outputtype=ASCII --values=$Subject/MNINonLinear/fsaverage_LR32k//${Subject}.L.atlasroi.32k_fs_LR.shape.gii Right Surface: surf2surf -i $Subject/MNINonLinear/fsaverage_LR32k/${Subject}.R.white.32k_fs_LR.surf.gii -o white.R.asc --outputtype=ASCII --values=$Subject/MNINonLinear/fsaverage_LR32k//${Subject}.R.atlasroi.32k_fs_LR.shape.gii - Then extract the volume subcortical files from e.g. $Subject/MNINonLinear/ROIs/Atlas_Rois.2.nii.gz, let’s say as CIFTI_Structure_{Name}.nii.gz, using e.g. fslmaths or your favourite tool for ROI extraction. You should get 19 of these NIFTI files. (You can obviously use your favourite subcortical parcellation here, but if you want consistency with the CIFTI standard grayordinates, you need to resample the final results, the file above ensures consistency). - Put all the filenames in a text file in the following sequence, to ensure consistency with the rest of the CIFTIs: white.L.asc white.R.asc CIFTI_STRUCTURE_ACCUMBENS_LEFT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_ACCUMBENS_RIGHT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_AMYGDALA_LEFT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_AMYGDALA_RIGHT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_BRAIN_STEM.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_CAUDATE_LEFT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_CAUDATE_RIGHT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_CEREBELLUM_LEFT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_CEREBELLUM_RIGHT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_DIENCEPHALON_VENTRAL_LEFT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_DIENCEPHALON_VENTRAL_RIGHT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_HIPPOCAMPUS_LEFT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_HIPPOCAMPUS_RIGHT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_PALLIDUM_LEFT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_PALLIDUM_RIGHT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_PUTAMEN_LEFT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_PUTAMEN_RIGHT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_THALAMUS_LEFT.nii.gz CIFTI_STRUCTURE_THALAMUS_RIGHT.nii.gz - You can then use such a file in FSL probtrackx2 as a seed (for Matrix1) or as a target3 (for Matrix3). Notice that running a single probtrackx2 command with all these seed locations and with many samples per location will require huge processing power and memory. In practice, we run multiple probtrackx2 in parallel, by splitting and parallelising the computation by using the --rseed option in probtrackx2 and using a small number of samples --nsamples per instance. I.e. instead of running one command, which will attempt to propagate 5000 curves per seed, we can run e.g. 100 instances of the above commands, using --nsamples=50 and --rseed=i, i=1..100. Results can then be combined using fdt_matrix_merge (which however also needs quite a lot of memory to produce the final dense connectomes, but at least it is one final process). - Another approach for parallelisation would be to split the seed locations and merge the final matrices. There is no solution that fits all systems, you should try and find the best approach depending on your computing resources. Hope this helps Stam On 19 May 2015, at 01:01, David R.
