image analysis team Cogimage (O. Colliot) of the ICM. He/she will be in 
close connection with IM2A (Pr B. Dubois), CENIR (Pr S. Lehéricy), the 
Functional Imaging Laboratory (H. Benali) and the other teams of the IHU 
working on Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Activities:
Analysis of MRI data (volumetry, morphometry, tractography, 
resting-state, classifiers) of the projects coordinated by the teams of 
the IHU working on Alzheimer’s disease and dementia
Scientific monitoring and litterature updates on brain image analysis 
methods applied to dementia
Development of new image analysis tools and automatic classifiers for 
the identification of biomarkers
Assistance to the design and set-up of new studies (choice of protocols 
and imaging markers)
Evaluation of the different available methods and choice of the most 
appropriate ones
Management of the interface between researchers in image and signal 
processing, clinical and neuroscience teams of the IHU and the 
neuroimaging platform CENIR

Profile of the candidate
PhD in neuroimaging
An experience in development of brain image analysis methods or/and 
their application to neuroimaging studies in patients

Qualities
Knowledge of one or several brain image analysis packages (SPM, 
Freesurfer, BrainVISA or FSL)
Knowledge of statistical methods and tools.
Knowledge of one or several programming languages (Matlab, Python or C/C++)

Re: [Freesurfer] fs-fast preprocessing resting state

2012-11-06 Thread Javeria Ali Hashmi
Hi there

I am running a program to generate a patient group specific template from
T1 brains. I need to know which of the Free Surfer outputs will be best for
creating a patient brain template. The T1 images need to be cleaned for
skull, meninges and neck. My guess is brain.finalsurfs.mgz.

thanks!

Javeria.

Hi Chris, it should have been done with preproc-sess. What was your
preproc-sess command line? At some point, I had it set up so that it
would go to the bold directory by default unless you used "-fsd rest".
Newer versions require you to specify the FSD specifically.

Do you have write permissions to the output dir? I noticed a perm error
