[Freesurfer] longitudinal data processing

2014-11-04 Thread Robby De Pauw
Dear FS-experts

Is there any command that I can use for caching my preprocessed data in the 
recon-all longitudinal stream, since this is possible through adding the 
-qcache option in the cross-sectional pipeline. Or maybe this is already 
automatically done without adding any option to the command?

Thank you

Greeting

Hi Robby,

depends on what you are trying to achieve.

The first stats model we implemented was the 2-stage model (with a 
linear fit inside each subject and then a cross sectional comparison of 
the atrophy rates, ie. slopes of the fit). For the first step the 
surface data (within-subject) is already in a common space (although not 
smoothed yet) and no qcache is needed and for the second step it cannot 
be done without first doing the first step.


Now we also have tools for linear mixed effects modelling. For that we 
need all data (all time points from all subjects) in the fsaverage 
space. Try using the -qcache command on the longitudinal directories 
(e.g. together with the --long flag etc). That should do the trick.


Best, Martin
