Hi Andrei, Because I have no Neurolucida experience, I feel pretty helpless to help you. But my hunch is that Caret would need two different files to open/import -- the contours and the cells. (And cellcolor, too, but I'd think you'd at least see black dots of the cells were there.) First th

Re: [caret-users] about mapping the cortical parcellation scheme on fiducial surface

Without having an actual GM/WM surface to use as a mapping substrate, any solution will be sub-optimal. If you can get a white surface, then map to it. Otherwise, here are some ideas: * Use either gaussian or MCWBrainfish as your mapping algorithm, instead of enclosing/interpolated voxel: htt

2011-11-07 Thread Donna Dierker
This is an older version of Caret, and it is a very minor problem. For some reason, the first of the 12 Buckner subjects that went into the PALS_B12 atlas had a deformed fiducial surface with some spikiness -- a problem that is fixed by a small number of smoothing iterations after registration.

No cropping is needed, but the "paint volume" (aka label/ROI/parcellation volume) needs to be in register, volumetrically, with the anatomical volume used to generate the fiducial surface. The voxdims need not match, but the origin and rotation must match. Headers must correctly identify the

There probably is more than one way to do this. The way I'm used to batching images is using caret_command -show-scene with some TEMPLATE.scene file that has variable names like FIDUCIAL_FNAME for any files that vary. The palette file will probably remain constant across your subjects, so stor
