Hi Alex. Take a look at the wiki page: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/LongitudinalTutorial
you need to create a .Qdecrc file in the qdec directory to tell qdec about the filenames with the .long in it: Also QDEC will not know about our new files (e.g. lh.long.thickness-spc...). We can tell it to look for them by creating a qdec/.Qdecrc file in the qdec directory that contains the following lines: MEASURE1 = long.thickness-avg MEASURE2 = long.thickness-rate MEASURE3 = long.thickness-pc1 MEASURE4 = long.thickness-spcYou can then run qdec and do all kinds of analysis on any of those files and other variables from the qdec table: qdec --table ./qdec/cross.qdec.table.datBest, Martin----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Hanganu" <al.hang...@yahoo.ca> To: "Martin Reuter" <mreu...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Cc: "FS Mailing List" <Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Sent: Friday, November 09, 2012 9:47 PM Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] Qdec - longitudinal.
