Re: [Freesurfer] reg-feat2anat failure

This file is created when you run reg-feat2anat and should be the one that gets changed with --manxfm func2anat. You can handle this differently if you 1. Manually edit the anat2exf.register.dat so that it is relatively close (no need to be perfect) cd feat/reg/freesurfer tkregister2 --mov

[Freesurfer] problem with generating cesvar.nii

2011-10-19 Thread SHAHIN NASR
Hi, I have generated two different functional connectivity maps for two different ROI-based seeds. These maps are based on group-average of the same subjects (generated by using separate isxconcat-sess commands ), and now I want to see the difference map. To do so, I used mris_calc as below.

Hi Shahin, it is not as simple as doing a subtraction of the cesvar files. What you are trying to get is the expected variance of your difference between the ces files (as a variance, it must be positive). To get this you need cesvardiff = (cesvar1+cesvar2)/(2^2) The 2^2 is the number of

Thanks Doug. Just one related question. Should I also generate a new ffxdof.dat file for this map? I assumed that ffxdof depends on the number of subjects (session) and since number of subjects (sessions) is the same between the two groups then I can use those values, generated by

Do you suggest using random-effect model? Is there any problem with using a fix-effect model (other than the fact that by using this model we can not predict response of subjects outside our population)? On Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 3:07 PM, Douglas N Greve gr...@nmr.mgh.harvard.eduwrote: It should

The mask sort of covers the whole brain (see attached). It may be due to the display thresholding, when I viewed the path.pd.nii.gz using fslview, the tract actually has been recovered as compared to the previous one (old_path.png). However, the path.pd still does seem normal, i.e. with quite a

Glad things are moving in the right direction. Now it looks like maybe one of the control points of the path is not moving around, which is why you get that very bright thin spot in the distribution. I can't tell by looking at that one slice of the mask only, but could it be that there

no, we created our own atlas by manually labeling 39 subjects according to the CMA conventions, then iteratively going back over them to correct for consistent inaccuracies in the manual labelings. It's still an ongoing process as we are currently working on improving the manual putamen labels.
