Hi Andreas, fsaverage does not have stats files so should cause it to crash. Are you saying that if you sort it in a certain way, you can get it to run with fsaverage? doug On 04/24/2013 09:51 AM, Andreas Berger wrote: Hi Surfers, as of version 5.2, i'm getting an error using

Dear Freesurfers, During the display of my data in tksurfer I smoothed my overlay with 1 smoothing step (Tools Surface Smooth Overlay... ). All I could figure out was that this is done by sclv_smooth but what is exactly happening mathematically in this case? What does 1 smoothing step

For each step each vertex is averaged with its nearest neighbor. If you use two steps, then this is done twice. doug On 04/24/2013 12:24 PM, Thomas Janssens wrote: Dear Freesurfers, During the display of my data in tksurfer I smoothed my overlay with 1 smoothing step (Tools Surface

Hi Doug, Sorry to follow this topic with a delay but we tried to model BOLD signal undershoot with a gamma function and we failed. The problem is, gamma function generates positive values and we can NOT use inverse gamma function (or otherfunction similar to that) as a part of mkanalysis-sess

Re: [Freesurfer] Fwd: Comparing HRF undershoots between conditions

What do you mean the gamma function generates positive values? It will create a regressor with a positive-going HRF. However, the regression coefficient can be negative which would invert the shape. The reg coef is fit to the data, so the data will tell you whether there is an undershoot or

You don't generate a negative coefficient. The sign and magnitude of the coefficient is determined by the fitting procedure. It may be the case that a positive coef fits the data better than a negative. You should not change the gamma parameters. doug On 04/24/2013 04:06 PM, SHAHIN NASR

This looks wrong: W = TalXFM * Norig * inv(Torig); If RAS = A.vox2ras1 * [i;j;k;1]; (Note: vox2ras = Norig), then just mni305 = TalXFM*A.vox2ras1 * [i;j;k;1] One way to check is to display the MNI305 and ScannerRAS in the tkmedit control window. Take the RAS from the control window, put it

Graham, Hi, to answer each: Intel vs AMD: no preference. also, CPU speed is not critical. Its better to have at least 4GB, and budget 4GB per subject you want to process simultaneously. Try to get a 'Sandy bridge' motherboard architecture or whatever is newer. This allows better addressing
