Re: [HCP-Users] Spatial normalization of 50 Subjects T1w images

[Harms, Michael]

Hi, I don’t know the answer to that because (1) we don’t know anything about your dMRI protocol, and (2) I personally don’t know about the feasibility of tracking the vestibulospinal tracts in particular. This thread has been bouncing around a number of different, unrelated topics.  Please start a new thread when raising a new topic. cheers, -MH --  Michael Harms, Ph.D. ----------------------------------------------------------- Conte Center for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders Washington University School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry, Box 8134 660 South Euclid Ave. Tel: 314-747-6173 St. Louis, MO  63110 Email: mha...@wustl.edu From: Dev vasu <vasudevamurthy.devulapa...@gmail.com> Date: Thursday, June 23, 2016 at 11:25 AM To: "Harms, Michael" <mha...@wustl.edu> Cc: "hcp-users@humanconnectome.org" <hcp-users@humanconnectome.org> Subject: Re: [HCP-Users] Spatial normalization of 50 Subjects T1w images Dear Sir, Can we observe the distribution of vestibulospinal tracts (vestibular circuitry )  from thalamus through vestibular cortex through workbench?, I have DTI data and i can evaluate the functional and structural connectivity but i would like to construct track orientation distribution in each voxel.

There may be a bigger issue here, which is that I’m now guessing that your vestibulopathy subjects are coming from scans collected from outside HCP?  If so, you have a major confound, because you will be attempting to compare two groups that were collected on completely different scanners.  In which case, any difference you find could be attributed to just scanner difference effects. cheers, -MH --  Michael Harms, Ph.D. ----------------------------------------------------------- Conte Center for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders Washington University School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry, Box 8134 660 South Euclid Ave. Tel: 314-747-6173 St. Louis, MO  63110 Email: mha...@wustl.edu From: <hcp-users-boun...@humanconnectome.org> on behalf of Dev vasu <vasudevamurthy.devulapa...@gmail.com> Date: Tuesday, June 21, 2016 at 2:02 PM To: "Harms, Michael" <mha...@wustl.edu> Cc: "hcp-users@humanconnectome.org" <hcp-users@humanconnectome.org> Subject: Re: [HCP-Users] Spatial normalization of 50 Subjects T1w images Dear Professor, I was advised to do VBM, I understand questions pertaining to biological  validity of VBM and interpretation issues.
