[Freesurfer] Brain Seg Volumes

2014-05-05 Thread Mayer Kristina
Hi there, I am using freesurfer for datas of two year olds. - Is there a special command to run freesurfer on children's data? - When I checked the seg.stats for volumes, I got a higher value for BrainSegVolNotVentSurf (value: 845377 mm3), than for the BrainSegVol (value: 839497) in one patient.

Hi Panos the first two are basic differential geometric measures (H and K are the typical symbols for them). The second two come from a David Van Essen paper I think in the late 90s. Sorry, I don't remember the exact reference cheers Bruce On Mon, 5 May 2014, pfot...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu wrote:

[Freesurfer] comparing two conditions with disproportionate number of trials

2014-05-05 Thread Eryilmaz, Huseyin Hamdi
Dear FS experts, I have a question about the way contrasts work in an event-related design. I am wondering if freesurfer is doing some sort of weighing when it compares two different conditions with incomparable number of trials. For example condition A is represented by 10 trials in the

Re: [Freesurfer] comparing two conditions with disproportionate number of trials

2014-05-05 Thread MCLAREN, Donald
For the contrast AB, the number of trials is not considered. When you contrast A and B, you are assessing the mean response to trials of condition A to the mean response to trials of condition B. You wouldn't want to weight this by the number of trials as then the contrast would not make sense.

The total time is the time from when you start the scanner until the scanner turns off. The duration of the stimulus should be the just that of the stimulus. If you want to have a minimum amount of fixation between events, then use --tnullmin. doug On 05/05/2014 12:53 PM, Conchy PF wrote:
