[Freesurfer] Still confused by group analysis..

2013-05-12 Thread Tudor Popescu
Dear Freesurfer experts, I very much appreciate your help with an additional set of questions. I feel I'm really close to getting this finished :) 1) In a design with group and gender as discrete factors and age as a continuous factor, why is it that QDEC only displays the contrast Does the avg

Hi Bruce, Thanks for the quick response. The label is a manually traced area of the cortex. It is in subject scanner space and has a single value, so it probably would not work with bbregister. I can load it in tkmedit as a segmentation and the alignment is correct. I attached a screenshot. Is

Hi Jonathan you don't need to register it if it's shown properly in tkmedit or freeview. Can you tell us more about what you are trying to do? Bruce On Sun, 12 May 2013, Jonathan DuBois wrote: Hi Bruce,  Thanks for the quick response. The label is a manually traced area of the cortex. It

Hi Bruce, I would like to convert the .mgz label volume to a surface label for that subject, but mri_vol2surf requires a registration file. Best, Jonathan On Sunday, May 12, 2013, Bruce Fischl wrote: Hi Jonathan you don't need to register it if it's shown properly in tkmedit or freeview.

[Freesurfer] Restricting ROI Analysis

Hi everyone, We are trying to restrict an analysis using Qdec to a region of interest. We have successfully created the ROI mask, however the analysis continues to be run on the entire brain. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Skyler and Jon -- Skyler G. Shollenbarger Graduate

I used the following options: mri_vol2surf --hemi lh --regheader subject01 --cortex --mov label.mgz --o ./label.mgh It ran without error, but I could not open the resulting file in tksurfer as either a label or an overlay: - /Applications/freesurfer/tktools/tksurfer.bin: no data in label

Hi Skyler, I don't think we have the ability to restrict the analysis to an ROI in QDEC. You can do it with mri_glmfit with the --mask or --label option. doug On 5/12/13 4:25 PM, Skyler Gabriel Shollenbarger wrote: Hi everyone, We are trying to restrict an analysis using Qdec to a region of

It cannot create a label file directly. What happens when you try to load it as an overlay? Make sure to set the threshold to 0.5. Also, before going to the surface load the binary volume onto the anatomical with the surfaces to make sure that the surfaces pass through the mask. doug On

Hi Xi-Nian, it does not do the same thing, but it does something similar. Anderson found that it gave similar results in a lot of cases, but he has found some differences. If he's still following the FS list, maybe he can comment. doug On 5/11/13 9:53 PM, Xinian Zuo wrote: Hello Doug,
