Use mri_convert. Here's an example for an spm functional volume spm001.img, spm002.img ... mri_convert spm001.img --in_type spm spm_000.bfloat This should create the spm bfloat volume. doug Bradley Goodyear wrote: Which parameter from the .HDR file does spm_to_b use as the number of

Matlab window problems with FS-FAST

I'm not sure if it works for version 5 or not (since I only have 6.1 to work with). Typing matlab -tty on my system causes matlab to startup in the same terminal window (instead of spawning a separate command window). Looking through an older version of FS-FAST that we use (fsfast-010328), I

Would there be any benefits by using a Beowulf cluster for FS-FAST and Freesurfer computations? I've been wondering about this lately, and wanted to hear the thoughts of other Freesurfer users. I don't know much about the underlying design of the code and whether or not it would be

Hi Tom, we've never really used our skull stripping for primates, so I'm not surprised to hear that it fails. It's good to know that BET works well, so I would definitely use it instead of ours. In general, we have been working over the last year or so to integrate with the Oxford tools, so

you should convert the patch to ascii using mris_convert -p and get the vertex #s from the ascii file. Also, I think you must have an old version of mris_convert (as every other area is 0, which it certainly shouldn't be). Try taking a new one from

Hi Petr, this almost certainly means that you didn't reinflate after running the topology correction, so that there is no longer a correspondence between the orig (which has been corrected) and the inflated surfaces. The reason the orig doubles in size is that the corrected surfaces have to be
