[Freesurfer] QDEC or SPSS?

2010-11-08 Thread liyari5018
Hi all, I do group analysis using QDEC to detect the difference between the normal group and the patient group, the result shows some significant difference brain area (normal patient, red, uncorrected p=0.001). I extract the average cortical thickness in this area(ROI), then export

[Freesurfer] DTI question

2010-11-08 Thread Gabriel Go.Es.
Hello Freesurfers I'm starting to work with DTI data and I have a couple of questions; I have 2 identical DTI sequences for some subjects and I would like to work with them, does anyone knows if it's better to concatenate them or to make an average of them? And I'm wondering when I make

its hard to say without more details, but if i'm reading your email correctly, one notable difference is that you state that you extracted the cortical thickness data for an ROI and conducted the analysis in SPSS using that data. that would not be the same analysis as what qdec is doing. qdec is

you also must verify that you are using the same exact model for the analysis. doug Nick Schmansky wrote: its hard to say without more details, but if i'm reading your email correctly, one notable difference is that you state that you extracted the cortical thickness data for an ROI and

Hi Freesurfers,    Anybody knows how can I make lh and rh.annotation.aparc files for a monkey? I need them initiate an brain averaging process. Shahin Nasr PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience Martinos Imaging Center, MGH Harvard Medical School

Hi Shahin you'll need a monkey atlas based on manually labeled monkey folding patterns. we don't have one, but it's possible that someone else on the list does (it would be a lot easier to do for monkey than it was for human as the folds are so much simpler) cheers Bruce On Mon, 8 Nov

Hi Shahin have you run spherical registration? If so, to what target? I don't think the monkey-to-human atlas aligment is that robust, so you would need a monkey geometry atlas (which is a lot easier to build as you don't need to do manual labeling for it). Probably someone on list has one?

    Yes, I have made a template on the basis of many monkeys (mris_make_template) and then I have done spherical registeration for each individual monkey (to this template) by using mris_register. Now it is the final step and I have to run the make_average_subject but it generates an error

It is needed in make_average_surface. I've created a new version that does not use the aparc (thought I have not tested it). You can get it from here: ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/transfer/outgoing/flat/greve/make_average_surface.no-aparc Make a backup of your current version of
