Re: [HCP-Users] Glasser nature atlas

2016-10-12 Thread Glasser, Matthew
We do need to get an MSM binary out with a revised MSMSulc config file.  This 
will hopefully happen soon, we are just waiting for the author of a software 
library to e-mail us back about some licensing stuff.

Peace,

Matt.

In my experience, curvature varies too much across subjects, while sulc seems a

For intrasubject registration across timepoints, however, curvature is your

I have a related question to this.  I’d like to use the parcellation on some 
more traditional volume data (i.e. 3x3x3mm voxels, 3s TR).  I have made fs_LR 
surfaces from free surfer using the wb_command shortcuts for it, as in here:

 but I am missing the registration from subject surface to group average.

Is this registration, or the validity of the parcellation, dependent on MSMAll 
or would an MSMSulc registration be effective (enough) here?  The paper and 
parcellation are clearly based on MSMAll and this was essential in generating 
parcellation, but since I don’t have the requisite rest data to do an MSMAll 
register, would an MSMSulc registration be sufficient for ultimately 
translating back to the subject volume?

I read the above discussion about a month ago and didn’t see this covered, but 
I don’t know if that was addressed in the discussion since.

You can get the help info of commands by running them with no arguments, or
from here:

http://www.humanconnectome.org/software/workbench-command.php?function=-label-to-volume-mapping

Note that the ribbon mapping method (which is generally recommended when
you have pial and white surfaces) of surface to volume mapping is
"generous" in that it assigns values to voxels that are only partially
inside the cortical ribbon - this can be dealt with if it is a problem for
your use.

Re: [HCP-Users] Glasser nature atlas

2016-10-04 Thread Timothy Coalson
Making a "nifti version" isn't a simple conversion, as some lengthy
conversations on this list have elaborated on.

The good news: if you want a single-subject-specific version, that is
possible, using -cifti-separate and -label-to-volume-mapping, using the
subject's own surfaces.

The bad news: if you want it to be a group atlas, the currently popular
volume registration methods aren't good enough at cortical area alignment
to make our parcellation meaningful in a group-average volume space, and
thus we do not recommend making a volumetric version in such a space.  In
the meantime, surface registration avoids several difficulties inherent to
volume registration, and was instrumental in being able to create the
parcellation at all (via alignment of areal features).

Hi Peter,

The data for the new parcellation are available in the BALSA database, see this 
thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/hcp-users@humanconnectome.org/msg02876.html


We recommend using the included Connectome Workbench scene file to conveniently 
view the data in the wb_view part of the software platform. Get Connectome 
Workbench here: 
https://www.humanconnectome.org/software/get-connectome-workbench.html


Many of the files are in the CIFTI data 
format<http://www.humanconnectome.org/software/workbench-command.php?function=-cifti-help>,
 which has a lot of advantages, but if you need NIFTI versions, you can use 
wb_command<http://www.humanconnectome.org/software/workbench-command.php> 
(distributed as part of Connectome Workbench) to do the conversion.


There's lots of help for using wb_command in the HCP-Users mail archive, and/or 
you could post more questions to the list.
