[caret-users] question FreeSurfer to Caret and back

2012-02-17 Thread j janssen
Hi Donna, context: advances in streamlining FreeSurfer and Caret processing (PALS_B12.LR.zip). goal: I have my subject's T1 ran through FreeSurfer's recon-all. for this same subject i want to use Caret to obtain native space sulcal depth maps. thereafter i want to take this Caret native space

Thanks for information, but I must confess I don't understand why you create the sphere first. I thought the procedure for atlases was to make a surface, then resample it as a standard mesh, then do spherical morphing etc. Is the idea instead to create the fiducial surface, do spherical

Yes It is possible! http://brainvis.wustl.edu/wiki/index.php/Caret:Download if you use Freesurfer_to_PALS-B12 Pipeline you will get all surfaces in caret and it gives you the shape file (sulci pattern) in *.shape format and deformation map (fs to caret or caret to fs). It also gives you

Tim - what you say is interesting. I have actually wondered about node spacing in fiducial surfaces registered to F99 via macaque.sphere6. It's not always 100% super straight forward to register (without lots of crossovers and issues). I'm fairly pleased with what I have. the matches are quite

Hi Tristan, As you know, the target keeps moving. If you haven't done so, read this paper: http://cercor.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2011/11/02/cercor.bhr290.long It's been a while since I read it, and I noticed one of the sumsdb links was bad, but this looks like the right thing:

It's possible, but this isn't what preborder.sh does. First, its depth maps are generated from a version of the midthickness that has been stereotaxically registered to WashU's 711-2B space (because this is what the probabilistic volumes representing the sulci are in). But also it has already

Creating the sphere may not be the first step, but the key thing about an atlas is that all of the subjects used to generate the atlas need to be on the same mesh, with subject landmarks occupying the same or nearby node numbers. Native meshes from freesurfer do not have this property, nor to
