Re: [Freesurfer] Problem with glmfit: matrix is ill-conditioned

2013-01-30 Thread Ed Gronenschild

Hi Doug,

It is indeed correct that columns 1 and 17 are highly correlated. However,
for another version of the fsgd file, where the corresponding class and
covariate values where identical but with other covariates (so leading to
the same columns  1 and 17, other columns are different), all went well.
So probably some other columns are highly correlated as well.
Anyway, what can we do about it? Just leave the offending covariate(s) out?

Cheers,
Ed

 Hi Ed, the problem is that your covariates are highly correlated. Eg,
 column 1 is nearly identical to column 17.

Re: [Freesurfer] mean cortical thickness of significant clusters in qdec

2013-01-30 Thread Douglas Greve
Oh, sorry, I thought you said you were using mri_glmfit-sim (which does 
not have an FDR option). Are you using the FDR in QDEC? If so, it will 
display the voxel-wise threshold that realizes the FDR threshold. You 
can then run mri_glmfit-sim --cache threshold sign --cwpvalthresh .99
where threshold is the voxelwise threshold from FDR and sign is either 
abs (absolute), pos, or neg. Setting cwpvalthresh=.99 tell it to report 
all clusters

Re: [Freesurfer] bug repport mri_convert in freesurfer 5.1 segment fault on fedora 19

Knut,

thanks for testing the other two builds and for filing the report.  i
noticed they had you run valgrind.  if you want, i've put a debug build of
mri_convert here:

ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/misc/linux-centos6_x86_64/

running it in valgrind i think would output source code line numbers of
where its going wrong, which would be a big help.

[Freesurfer] question about MRF

2013-01-30 Thread Zhennan Yan

Dear freesurfer experts,

I have questions about the MRF in Freesurfer:
(1) I have a T1 image and sub-cortical segmentation for it (nifti 
format). But the segmentation is not perfect and I would like to relabel 
it using the ICM algorithm as shown in fig.8 in paper: Whole Brain 
Segmentation: Automated Labeling of Neuroanatomical Structures in the 
Human Brain, Fischl et al., (2002).

How can I do this using Freesurfer?

(2) If I have several subjects with labels, how can I train the 
anisotropic nonstationary MRF prior as equation (9) in the same paper? 
Can I use that MRF prior elsewhere in my own program?


Many thanks!

Best,
Zhennan

Re: [Freesurfer] mris_pmake

2013-01-30 Thread Rudolph Pienaar
Hi Andrew --

First the good news:

Indeed, there is a much simpler (and quicker way):

  mris_pmake --subj subject --hemi hemi --surface surface 
--mpmProg autodijk --mpmArgs vertexPolar:0 --mpmOverlay euclidean

If called with hemi=lh and surface=smoothwm, it will create an output 
overlay called lh.autodijk.crv. Each index in the overlay will have a 
value equal to the shortest distance along the edges of the lh.smoothwm 
from a start (or polar) vertex, in this case 0, to that particular 
vertex index in the overlay.

The whole operation (including reading all the necessary inputs) takes 
about 10 seconds on a current-ish Linux workstation (with bogoMips -- 
type cat /proc/cpuinfo and look for bogomips -- of about 5000)

Now the bad news:

* The version of 'mris_pmake' in FreeSurfer stable (5.1) is horribly 
old. And broken. For a start, notice that the all the --surface0 
--curv0 --curv1 arguments are no longer required.

* The 5.1 version of mris_pmake moreover has a bug in the euclidean 
overlay code that means it won't work.

Better news:

* This is all fixed in 5.2 and the above command line I gave will work 
as advertised.

* If you can't wait for the new FS, I'm sure we can send you a compiled 
preview binary of 'mris_pmake' that will work.

* I really really need to update the documentation on mris_pmake... I'd 
really like to have that ready for the 5.2 release.

On Tue Jan 29 17:20:05 2013, Andrew Bock wrote:
 Dear all,

 I am trying to calculate the distance from a reference vertex to all
 other vertices in a surface mesh (or ideally to a subset of vertices),
 moving along the actual surface (e.g. smoothwm).

 I am able to loop through the pairs of vertices in which I'm
 interested, using mris_pmake in each loop, but this is quite time
 consuming.  I have tried using '--mpmProg autodijk' as described in
 the mris_pmake help file, but have been unsuccessful at getting this
 command to work.

 The current code I am using for each pair is:

 mris_pmake --subject subject --surface0 smoothwm --curv0 sulc
 --curv1 sulc --mpmOverlay euclidean --mpmProg pathFind --mpmArgs
 startVertex:###,endVertex:###

 Any suggestions to cut down my processing time, while still
 calculating along the surface, would be greatly appreciated.

 Andrew

Re: [Freesurfer] question about MRF

2013-01-30 Thread Bruce Fischl
Hi Zhennan

there is an option to mri_ca_label to read in a prior segmentation and 
iterate the MRF minimization, but unless your labels and conventions are 
identical to our's it's unlikely to work. You can use mri_ca_train to build 
the MRF and likelihoods and such if you want.

 Dear freesurfer experts,
 
 I have questions about the MRF in Freesurfer:
 (1) I have a T1 image and sub-cortical segmentation for it (nifti format). 
 But the segmentation is not perfect
 and I would like to relabel it using the ICM algorithm as shown in fig.8 in 
 paper: Whole Brain Segmentation:
 Automated Labeling of Neuroanatomical Structures in the Human Brain, Fischl 
 et al., (2002).
 How can I do this using Freesurfer?
 
 (2) If I have several subjects with labels, how can I train the anisotropic 
 nonstationary MRF prior as equation
 (9) in the same paper? Can I use that MRF prior elsewhere in my own program?
 
 Many thanks!

[Freesurfer] tracula longitudinal

2013-01-30 Thread Cat Chong
Hello Experts,

Please forgive another question.
I have run 59 people through the recon-all freesurfer longitudinal stream with 
2 timepoints (tp1id, tp2id). 

I want to run these subjects through tracula next, since the same people also 
received repeated Tensor imaging. 

To process everybody through tracula, I would use each person's original 
(cross-sectional) recon-all output and not the template or -long recon-all 
output, correct? 

Best regards,
Catherine

Re: [Freesurfer] tracula longitudinal

Hi Catherine - Yes, for now treat each time point as a different subject 
for trac-all purposes. (You can pass the time points' recon-all 
directories either before or after longitudinal processing.) However, 
there may also be a longitudinal version of tracula coming soon - but you
