[Freesurfer] question about TRACULA

2013-09-20 Thread Lucia Billeci
Dear Madam/Sir,

I am trying to applying TRACULA on my data but when I run the following command:

trac-all -prep -c /Users/Desktop/FreesurferData/SUBJECT1/dmrirc_subject1

after some processing I obtain the following error

Re: [Freesurfer] Qdec analysis -- Don't use DOSS with QDEC

2013-09-20 Thread Douglas N Greve

Hi Elisa, don't use the DOSS feature in QDEC. Sorry, I sent out an email 
about 6mo ago on this, but it is not easy to let people know about a bug 
once the bug is out there.

 Dear Freesurfer experts,

 I would like to study the relationship between cortical thickness and 
 one clinical variable with qdec, but correcting for age and gender.

 Given that I have only one group and 2 covariates (one continuous, one 
 dichotomic) I don't know how I should set the design of my analysis in 
 qdec, especially for the gender variable.

 I have tried two different ways (both DOSS design):

 1) selecting Discrete = gender; Continuous = clinical measure; 
 Nuisance factor = age
 and looking at the contrast called : Does the correlation between 
 thickness and clinical measure accounting for gender differ from 0? 
 nuisance factor : age

 2) selecting : continuous = clinical measure; Nuisance Factor = age, 
 gender (coded as 1 and 2)
  and looking at the contrast called : Does the correlation 
 between thickness and clinical measure differ from 0, nuisance factor 
 : age, gender

 But the two contrasts give very different results, which I find very 
 surprising. I exported cortical thickness at the peak significance of 
 the clusters and tried to run a GLM myself in SPSS and it seems that 
 coding gender as a continuous variable with two values (1 and 2) 
 provides the most realistic results. However, I saw many times on the 
 mailing list that you recommend to use gender as a discrete variable, 
 so I am very confused.
 Could you explain me the difference between these contrasts and help 
 me to identify which one will accurately identify the correlation 
 between cortical thickness and my clinical variable correcting for the 
 effect of age and gender.

 Thank you in advance for your answer,
 Best regards
 Elisa

Re: [Freesurfer] ACFFWHM for surface-based analyses in FSFAST?

2013-09-20 Thread Douglas N Greve

Hi Caspar, I have not looked at it much. The temporal whitening has so 
little effect (at least at the group level), that I cannot imagine that 
it will make much difference.

 Hi Freesurfer Experts,
 mkanalysis-sess seems to default to a FWHM of 20 for the smooting of 
 the ACF (in version 5.1). I was wondering whether it makes sense to 
 use the same FWHM for volume and surface based analyses of functional 
 data in FSFAST? I seem to remember that the autocorrelations differ 
 between, e.g., grey and white matter, which might be a reason to use a 
 different FWHM on the surface?

 Thank you very much,
 Caspar

Re: [Freesurfer] Qdec analysis -- Don't use DOSS with QDEC

 Hi Doug,

 I'm jumping in the discussion because I was a bit scared with your previous 
 email mentioning that this DOSS bug affects all FreeSurfer's versions. Does 
 that also affect statistical analyses computed with mri_glmfit using the 
 command line? Do you have an insight whether the bias introduced by the bug 
 is important or not? (as others may also be, I'm becoming a bit anxious about 
 previously published results…)
It does not affect the command-line version, only in QDEC. It was 
basically not creating a contrast matrix that matched the hypothesis 
question under some circumstances.

 Finally, to get back to Elisa's question: do you have some suggestion in the 
 mean time to assess the relationship between cortical thickness and a 
 clinical measure correcting for age and gender? Using
DODS? With or without demeaning the covariates and nuisance? Sorry for 
the abundance of questions, and, as always, thanks a lot for your 
answer! Marie

I would probably do it with DODS and just test the mean across the two 
groups, eg,
Class M
Class F
Variables ClinicalVar Age

[0 0 .5 .5 0 0]

This would account for possible differences in slope between M and F. In 
the end, I think it will give you about the same as if use DOSS. If you 
have a small sample size, you could use DOSS because DODS will cost you 
2 more DOF

[Freesurfer] Fwd: Brainhack 2013 Stipend Program (DEADLINE TO APPLY: 11:59PM EST SEPTEMBER 27, 2013)

2013-09-20 Thread MCLAREN, Donald
Dear Colleagues,

The Neurobureau http://www.neurobureau.org is excited to announce a
stipend program for Brainhack 2013 http://www.brainhack.org (October
23-26 in Sevres, France (just outside of Paris). The stipend program was
created following a generous grant from Siemens Healthcare to assist young
investigators in attending Brainhack 2013. Without their support, the
stipend program would not exist.

The stipend program will provide at least 6 stipends for partial or full
registration fees [if 24 attendees apply, you have a 25% chance of getting
a stipend]. The exact breakdown of stipends provided will depend on the
number of applicants and the cost of attending the conference for those
applicants.

The application for stipend requires:
(1) A poster abstract
(2) A 1-2 page Brainhack project proposal (pdf format)
(3) NIH Biosketch/CV (pdf format)

The Brainhack 2013 Organizing Committee will decide which applications
will receive stipends based on their abstract and proposed brainhack
projects.

Details on Brainhack 2013 can be found
herehttp://www.brainhack.org/?page_id=27784
.

The deadline to apply for one of the stipends is 11:59PM EST on September
27th. All decisions will be made by October 3rd and must be accepted within
24 hours of being awarded.

If you have any questions please contact myself (mclaren.don...@gmail.com)
or one of the organizers.

Good luck.

Re: [Freesurfer] ACFFWHM for surface-based analyses in FSFAST?

Hi Doug, thanks for the response. I will also be looking at some single
subject data, that's why I am asking.
Do you have a hunch?

I think even in single subject data it will not be much of an effect. I 
looked at it a little bit when I first programmed it.
