[Freesurfer] questions about: fix bad talairachs tranforms

2010-04-22 Thread liyari5018
Hi freesurfer experts: 1\ when I finished the first step of recon-all(-autorecon1), check with tkregister2, do i need to check each slice or I just need to check few key anatomicals (Anterior / posterior commissures, the temporal lobes in the coronal plane, and the midline cut)? I

[Freesurfer] Talairach to vertex index: selec_talairach_point?

2010-04-22 Thread Arslan, Ali
Hi, I'm trying to go over a long list of talairach coordinates and to find their vertex indices. I did a bit of research and saw a previous question on the same topic: http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg12550.html So I went on to write a tcl script in order to write

Dear all I am a young researcher just starting on fMRI/ freesurfer analysis in Cape Town. I got a good start after a Course the MGH guys gave us a few months back. Ran 53 subjects, T1 MPRAGE 3T Allegra Siemens on our local cluster (8 core nehalem X 300) (www.chpc.ac.za) : at one subject per node,

1. You don't need to check each slice - just a few landmarks and overall alignment. 2. You can go on to the next step, but in general if you rerun we will retain your edits. cheers Bruce On Thu, 22 Apr 2010, liyari5018 wrote: Hi freesurfer experts: 1\ when I finished the first

Hi Stefan, that sounds pretty reasonable. Pallidum is hard. We do have some newer tools that do better on the pallidum, but they are not ready for distribution yet. If you upload one dataset where the pallidum segmentation is significantly off, we'll take a look. And thanks for the positive

Freesurfers, I have looked at this subject and original data looks good with no motion. The betting also looks good on the brainmask.mgz loaded into tkmedit. Any suggestions on what might be happening? I have attached the relevant log files, except recon-all.log because I thought it might

[Freesurfer] opseq2 efficiency vs VRF

Hi Doug and other Freesurfers, We are trying to balance the power of different event-related fMRI runs (each consisting of a different experimental condition with different interstimulus intervals) using the optseq2 definition for efficiency. Our outcome metric is the BOLD % signal change

2010-04-22 Thread Douglas N Greve
First of all, the number of stimuli should not influence the estimate of the % change, only its variance (ie, it won't bias you to find a change that is not there). Having said that, you can get some non-linearities if stimuli are too close to each other, so you'll want to make sure to check
