Re: [Freesurfer] Standard surface tessellation

Hi Justin, This is quite similar to a question I had asked previously: https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer%40nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg33421.html I believe the solution is to generate a 14000 vertex template, and then appy mri_surf2surf to all 10 subjects, which will map the vertices of all 10

[Freesurfer] optseq enforcing consecutive trials

2013-12-10 Thread Chris McNorgan
Hi all, I posed a question back in November but got no replies, so I'll try to restate it briefly: Is there a means of enforcing at least one set of consecutive trials for a condition in an optseq schedule (or even consecutive trials with an intervening NULL event)? I am trying to produce a

[Freesurfer] optseq2 for a (sparse) 1-back task

2013-11-21 Thread Chris McNorgan
Hi all, I figured I would have some luck tapping expertise on using optseq2 in this mailing list. There are 8 trials times 8 conditions in an event-related design. We are using a 1-back task just to keep participants paying attention. Thus, we are not attempting to match the number of

[Freesurfer] Finding adjacent vertices/labels

2013-04-10 Thread Chris McNorgan
Hello Freesurfers, I was wondering if there is information embedded in the annotation/label files that could be used to determine whether two labels represent anatomically adjacent regions? For example, I have parcellated a bunch of participants using connectomemapper into 1000 ROIs. I was

[Freesurfer] Merging .annot files using mris_label2annot puts labels in the wrong place

2013-02-16 Thread Chris McNorgan
Hi all, I posted this back in January, and got a direct email reply from someone on the mailing list, who gave me a helpful tip, but it doesn't seem to be working out quite right. The problem: I have 3 .annot files per hemisphere, each based on the

[Freesurfer] Merging .annot files

2013-01-17 Thread Chris McNorgan
Hello all, I posted this question on the cmtk users google group, but no takers, and perhaps this is the more appropriate venue anyways. I've been successfully using cmtk within iPython. After running connectomemapper parcellate() to get the Lausanne parcellation scheme, I get six .annot

[Freesurfer] Detrending timeseries with yhat.mgh from mri_glmfit

2012-12-09 Thread Chris McNorgan
Hello, I have a question regarding the yhat.mgh file generated from some resting-state functional data after running: mri_glmfit --y fmcpr.siemens.sm0.self.?h.nii.gz --glmdir $dest_dirname --qa --save-yhat I had assumed that the yhat file was the detrended data, but after plotting it in

[Freesurfer] De-trending resting state data

2012-12-06 Thread Chris McNorgan
I'm working with raw timeseries waveform data from a resting state dataset. There's one run per participant, so no between-run normalization is required. With Doug's help, I have mastered extracting the timeseries information from individual ROIs in surface space. The timeseries data is the

[Freesurfer] Extracting resting state time series from surface space using Lausanne 2008 parcellation

2012-12-04 Thread Chris McNorgan
Hi all. I have a question regarding the use of freesurfer + fs-fast preprocessing to apply the Lausanne 2008 parcellation scheme to some structural data, and then extract from those ~1000 ROIs the average time series from a 4D resting state functional run. I'm posting what I have carried out

Thanks, Doug That was quite helpful, and I have just extracted the mean timeseries from one of my parcellations. I just wanted to note a discrepancy between the mri_segstats output and what is indicated in the mri_segstats --help output. According to the program help: --avgwf textfile

Hello all, I've posted this question on the cmtk-users google group as well. In that forum there was an author who had been working on applying the Lausanne 2008 parcellation scheme to a functional data analysis. After running the connectomemapper toolkit to subdivide the Freesurfer
