Re: [caret-users] CARET Tutorial problem

[David Van Essen]

Hello Mucken,

1) You should be able to download this archive by linking to 
http://brainvis.wustl.edu/sumsdb/public_archive_index.html 
, requesting and 
waiting for a password (see appended email), then selecting the archive of 
interest:

6595030 download 

info 

   /ROOT/public/Tutorial/CARET_TUTORIAL_SEPT-06/CARET_TUTORIAL_SEPT06.zip

2) If your analysis needs specifically warrant using Caret software, keep going 
in your current direction.  However, my lab (and a growing fraction of the 
‘surface-based’ neuroimaging community) has switched to Connectome Workbench 
software.  It has most of the nice features of Caret but is much more powerful 
and user-friendly.  We are continuing to actively develop ‘Workbench’, whereas 
Caret is static.  Please check out 
http://www.humanconnectome.org/software/connectome-workbench.html 
 and the 
associated software and tutorials.

To Lynn and others who have been unable to access the SumsDB database:

I have bad news and (somewhat) good news.

1) Unfortunately, SumsDB passed away peacefully last summer.  The database was 
housed on an old server with a very old operating system.  It got 
corrupted/infected in a way that our IT experts determined was incompatible 
with keeping it robustly online or re-installing the database on a new host.

2) Before the untimely demise of SumsDB, Donna Dierker and Ben West were able 
to transfer the database contents to a different server and to provide a 
rudimentary form of access for the public datasets and some of the private 
datasets"

If you link to http://brainvis.wustl.edu/sumsdb/ 
 you’ll have options to view a listing of 
all public archives that had been in SumsDB:
http://brainvis.wustl.edu/sumsdb/public_archive_index.html 

and to a longer list that includes many private archives as well:
 http://brainvis.wustl.edu/sumsdb/archive_index.html 


3) If you wish to access any of these datasets, You may obtain the login 
password by emailing s...@brainvis.wustl.edu .
This requires a manual response on our side, so please be patient while 
awaiting login info.

4) The info buttons provide some information about the files contained within 
each archive, but be forewarned that the formatting is not pretty!  It may also 
be slow to load.

The download buttons should work once you’re logged in.

Sorry that this is such a kludge, but hopefully you and others will find that 
it’s better than nothing.  And it’s the best we’ll be able to do for legacy 
datasets in SumsDB.

5) Our lab remains strongly committed to sharing of extensively analyzed 
neuroimaging datasets.  However, we are investing our efforts in a more 
forward-looking direction via the BALSA database (https://balsa.wustl.edu 
).  In a nutshell, BALSA is to SumsDB what Connectome 
Workbench is to Caret visualization software.   It has many nice features, and 
we hope that you and other investigators will switch from Caret to ‘Workbench’ 
and share your published results on BALSA (see 
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27074495 
 for an article on BALSA).

Best regards,

David VE

Re: [caret-users] Caret Tutorial Sep22 : can't find reconstruct_sections.11-2006

Hi Mike,

The data set Donna points you to should work as will "http:// 
sumsdb.wustl.edu:8081/sums/archivelist.do? 
archive_id=6654710&archive_name=caret5_contours_tutorial.zip".


The link to the data set was missing from the tutorial document which  
I have just updated.


Thanks.

Hi Mike,

I don't see it in sumsdb, either, but there is a zip file named  
like that here:

John will know whether it's the latest/greatest.

Hello,

I'm working through the "Caret Tutorial - Contours and Sections" pdf,
dated April 17, 2007.

In the "Drawing Contours, Aligning Contours and Adding Cells"  
section,

it references a data set "RECONSTRUCT_SECTIONS.11-2006".  I'm
absolutely unable to find this on the caret website or in sumsdb.

Can anyone straighten this out for me?

Thanks,

Hi,

I was just checking out the latest Caret Tutorial and wanted to 
clarify that the PDF file, "Caret_Tutorial_Oct6," is a companion to 
the archive, "CARET_TUTORIAL_SEPT06." It appears that the latter 
consists of data files only. Is that correct?

Yes -- correct.


Also, these two files are the most recent tutorials, yes?
Yes -- correct also.  The Oct 6 PDF reflects some typo and other minor 
document corrections noted at the MCW course in early October.


This is the latest and greatest dataset (same as in the 
CARET_TUTORIAL_SEPT-06 directory 
(http://sumsdb.wustl.edu/sums/directory.do?id=6585200 ):
