If you’re talking about some sort of community/modularity analysis, then, no, 
there aren’t any tools for doing that directly in workbench.

Maybe Tim C. will have some suggestions.  I believe that the dconn is stored as 
a single precision float.  Have you tried using ‘ciftiopen’?  I’m not sure if 
that preserves the single precision format of the data, or if it balloons by a 
factor of 2 due to conversion to matlab’s default double precision format.  If 
you can keep it as single precision in matlab, you might be able to work with 
it provided Matlab has access to a lot of RAM.

cheers,

Subject: Re: [HCP-Users] Problem with handling dense FC matrix

Hi Michael,

wow, thank you for this lightning speed reply! I want to run some network 
analysis on this matrix.I don't need the whole matrix, I would just need the 
unique entries (off-diagonal upper or lower triangular, squareform() in Matlab) 
- maybe that would help? Can workbench help me in any way to do this?

Or do you have any other ideas?

Thank you!
Katharina

What are you trying to do with the file in workbench?  Have you reviewed the 
tutorial, because it includes examples (and a scene to help you along) of using 
that file.

Trying to load/work with that file in matlab is probably going to cause loads 
of pain.  It is just too large to load the entire thing into matlab.

cheers,

Subject: [HCP-Users] Problem with handling dense FC matrix

Hello HCP users,

I am new to HCP so please excuse me if I'm asking something that should be 
obvious. I've tried to find a solution but haven't been successful so far. I am 
trying to use the file 
HCP_S900_820_rfMRI_MSMAll_groupPCA_d4500ROW_zcorr.dconn.nii which to my 
understanding should contain a full FC matrix that is an average of 820 
subjects. I want to feed this matrix into a Matlab function. Of course, this is 
problematic because of the memory requirements. I have tried to read the file 
using ft_read_cifti from fieldtrip, but Matlab crashes at 112 GB of memory. So 
clearly, this is not the way.

I know I am supposed to be able to use workbench for that, but can't make it 
work so far. Can someone point me in the right direction? Is what I'm trying to 
do impossible?

I am using a cluster that can handle up to 132 GB of memory per cpu (RAM+swap) 
and runs Debian.

Thank you!!
Katharina
