[Freesurfer] PhD and MSc Opportunities in Computational Neuroscience and Neuroimaging at the University of Toronto

2020-01-23 Thread John Griffiths
External Email - Use Caution

The Whole Brain Modelling Group (PI Dr. John Griffiths; www.grifflab.com)
at the CAMH Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics (
www.krembilneuroinformatics.ca) and University of Toronto is looking for
PhD and MSc students with a strong background in computational neuroscience
and/or neuroimaging.

The focus of the Group’s work is computational models of large-scale brain
activity, with particular emphases on neural dynamics as measured by M/EEG
and fMRI, oscillations, brain stimulation (TMS, TDCS), neural plasticity,
and macro-connectomics.

The student shall conduct research in one or more of these areas. They will
have the opportunity to shape the details of the project based on their
specific interests, as well as to contribute to other ongoing projects on a
range of topics, including: neuroinformatics of whole-brain modelling,
mapping and modelling anatomical connectivity and microstructure with DWI
in relation to ageing and stroke, and multi-scale modelling of the
thalamocortical system in relation to sleep, pharmacological
neuromodulation, and neuropsychiatric disease.

The successful candidate should have, minimally, an undergraduate degree in
neuroscience, engineering, physics, mathematics, psychology, or related
area, and a demonstrable track record of research experience and interest
in computational neuroscience and/or neuroimaging. Expertise in one or more
modern scientific computing programming language (Python, Matlab, Julia, R,
C++) is essential. The candidate should also have familiarity with one or
both of: i) neuroimaging data analysis (s/d/fMRI and/or M/EEG), and ii)
computational modelling using numerical simulations (particularly modelling
of neural population activity with mean-field/neural mass/neural field
techniques, either with custom implementations or with tools such as The
Virtual Brain Platform or Dynamic Causal Modelling).

Full details of the position and application instructions can be found at
www.grifflab.com/positions/

For informal inquiries, please email Dr. John Griffiths at

[Freesurfer] getting vertex-wise correspondences across subjects

2016-02-02 Thread John Griffiths
Dear surfers,

Could you please help me with the following analysis workflow:

I am doing an analysis where I identify patterns on the ?h.orig surfaces.
What I want to do now is to resample these patterns over vertices, such
that I have vertex-wise correspondence across subjects. I believe this
essentially requires the construction of and projection to a group template
(although I'm aware this could be done with e.g. fsaverage).

Here is where I'm at:


cd(freesurfer dir)


1. Read ?h.orig surfaces; compute patterns

(...some in-house stuff...)

2. Write patterns out to .mgh file

Matlab
save_mgh(pat,outfile,eye(4));

Python
nibabel.MGHImage(pat[:,numpy.newaxis,numpy.newaxis].astype(np.float32),numpy.eye(4)).to_filename(outfile)

3. Generate group template

make_average_subject --out avgsub --sd  -subjects subj1 subj2 subj3



4. Register a single example subject to the new group template

mris_register -curv subj1/surf/lh.sphere avgsub/lh.reg.template.tif
subj1/surf/lh.sphere.reg.avgsub



5. Project the surface patterns identified above on to the new group
template, so that the vertex values correspond across subjects, and can be
averaged, statistically compared. etc.

mri_surf2surf --srcsubject subj1 --srcsurfreg sphere.reg.avg_sub
--trgsubject avg_sub --trgsurfreg sphere.reg --hemi lh --sval  --tval /tmp/test_avgsub.mgh


However this breaks down at mri_surf2surf, and I'm not particularly
confident that the earlier parts are exactly right either.


Could you please show me what commands I should be using for the aims as
described above?

Many thanks,

John

 Hi John

 Doug can say for sure, but I think you want to give it the switch
 --sval-xyz so it knows to expect a surface not a scalar field over the

 Thanks guys.
  When I run mri_info on the .mgz file I was using before it seems crash
 (nothing happens, and have to press ctrl+c to get the console back). So I
 suppose that partially explains mri_surf2surf not working. Not sure
 what's
 going wrong there - the command I used was
  mris_convert /work/imaging5/Freesurfer/**CBU070282/surf/lh.pial
  /home/jdg45/lh.pial_converted.**mgz

 For the original question - I was using a converted .mgz file because
 when I
 just give it the path to the 'lh.pial' file in the same directory it
 says it
 cant determine the file type -
  mri_surf2surf --cortex --fwhm 5. --hemi lh --sval
  /work/imaging5/Freesurfer/**CBU070282/surf/lh.pial --tval
  /home/jdg45/CBU070282_**smoother_surf.mgz --s CBU070282
 Standard output:
 ERROR: could not determine type of
 /work/imaging5/Freesurfer/**CBU070282/surf/lh.pial
 Standard error:

 Is there a .xxx suffix for those files I should be using?
 Incidentally, the reason I'm doing this is that I want to downsample a
 surface file; someone suggested to me to use mri_surf2surf with the
 'trgicoorder' flag. Is this a good way to downsample a surface?
 Thanks,
 john

It seems weird that you are using .mgz files (this

Also, it seems that several of the options you are

[Freesurfer] downsampling white matter surface and converting to .tri

2011-12-08 Thread John Griffiths
Dear FS peeps,


I am trying to downsample a (white matter) surface with mri_surf2surf. I
also want the output in .tri format.

First problem is that mri_surf2surf doesn't let me output in .tri format


mri_surf2surf --hemi lh --srcsubject subj1 --sval-xyz white --trgsubject
subj1 --trgicoorder 4 --trgsurfval subj1_white_downsampled.tri --tfmt tri


gives me


ERROR: could not determine type of temp_surf_white.tri


(that happens with the 'tfmt' flag or not)

The command does work when the output is a .gii or .mgh file, but when I
then try to convert those files to .tri format with mris_convert I get the
error


ERROR: MRISread: cannot read surface data from file
subj1_white_downsampled.gii!


...which is also the error I get when trying to load the file into freeview
as a surface.



Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? If there is a better way to
convert lh.white into a downsampled .tri file please do tell.


Thanks very much,
 john



(p.s. thanks to Dan, Doug, and Bruce for getting me to this point...)

Re: [Freesurfer] downsampling white matter surface and converting to .tri

2011-12-08 Thread John Griffiths
Hi Bruce.

That seems to help - this command runs with no errors

 mri_surf2surf --hemi lh --srcsubject CBU070282 --sval-xyz white
--trgsubject CBU070282 --trgicoorder 3 --trgsurfval white_trgicoorder3
--tval-xyz


But unfortunately the --trgicoorder flag doesn't seem to be doing anything;
when I run mris_info on the outputs of this command it says 'nvertices' is
the same as the original file, for whatever value of trgicoorder I use. The
files are the same size as well.

Any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks,
   john

 Hi John

 try adding --tval-xyz so that it knows you want to write out a surface.

 cheers

  Dear FS peeps,


 I am trying to downsample a (white matter) surface with mri_surf2surf. I
 also want the output in .tri format.

 First problem is that mri_surf2surf doesn't let me output in .tri format

  mri_surf2surf --hemi lh --srcsubject subj1 --sval-xyz white
  --trgsubject subj1 --trgicoorder 4 --trgsurfval
  subj1_white_downsampled.tri --**tfmt tri


 gives me

  ERROR: could not determine type of temp_surf_white.tri


 (that happens with the 'tfmt' flag or not)

 The command does work when the output is a .gii or .mgh file, but when I
 then try to convert those files to .tri format with mris_convert I get the
 error

  ERROR: MRISread: cannot read surface data from file
  subj1_white_downsampled.gii!


 ...which is also the error I get when trying to load the file into
 freeview
 as a surface.



 Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? If there is a better way to
 convert lh.white into a downsampled .tri file please do tell.


 Thanks very much,
   **   john



 (p.s. thanks to Dan, Doug, and Bruce for getting me to this point...)

Re: [Freesurfer] mri_surf2surf error - Return code 254

2011-12-07 Thread John Griffiths
[ Douglas and Dan - sending this again as I didn't sent it to the list
address before. Sorry.  ]

Thanks guys.

When I run mri_info on the .mgz file I was using before it seems crash
(nothing happens, and have to press ctrl+c to get the console back). So I
suppose that partially explains mri_surf2surf not working. Not sure what's
going wrong there - the command I used was

mris_convert /work/imaging5/Freesurfer/CBU070282/surf/lh.pial
/home/jdg45/lh.pial_converted.mgz

For the original question - I was using a converted .mgz file because when
I just give it the path to the 'lh.pial' file in the same directory it says
it cant determine the file type -

mri_surf2surf --cortex --fwhm 5. --hemi lh --sval
/work/imaging5/Freesurfer/CBU070282/surf/lh.pial --tval
/home/jdg45/CBU070282_smoother_surf.mgz --s CBU070282
Standard output:
ERROR: could not determine type of
/work/imaging5/Freesurfer/CBU070282/surf/lh.pial
Standard error:

Is there a .xxx suffix for those files I should be using?
 Incidentally, the reason I'm doing this is that I want to downsample a
surface file; someone suggested to me to use mri_surf2surf with the
'trgicoorder' flag. Is this a good way to downsample a surface?
  Thanks,
john

 surf2surf actually takes surface overlays (not surfaces themselves) as
 input, and they can be in any format that FS reads. The wiki is probably
 not up-to-date as those options are ok.

 Hi John,

 It seems weird that you are using .mgz files (this suffix is for
 volume files) with mri_surf2surf (whose inputs should be surfaces).
 Also, it seems that several of the options you are trying I don't
 believe exist at least according to the wiki (e.g. -cortex -fwhm). Are
 you sure you are using the right command?
