[Freesurfer] Auditory cortex ROIs Freesurfer versions 5.0-5.3
Dear all, I’d like to know if there are any differences in the way that the auditory cortex regions of interest are segmented between freesurfer versions 5.0 to 5.3. Do all version provide output for the below three ROIs, and are the atlases used for this (both the default and the Destrieux) unchanged across these freesurfer versions? lh.G_temp_sup-G_T_transv.label (33) lh.S_temporal_transverse.label (74) lh.G_temp_sup-Plan_tempo.label (36) Many thanks and best wishes, Narly. ___ Freesurfer mailing list Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.

Re: [Freesurfer] Auditory cortex ROIs Freesurfer versions 5.0-5.3
Dear Bruce, Thanks for your answer. Did the surface-based registration procedure change between each successive freesurfer version 5, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 or did the main (or bigger) changes occur between 2 specific versions? If so, which please?

[Freesurfer] bug in surface-based area and volume, and use of total brain volume as a covariate
Dear all, Related to the bug that was reported in 2011 (see http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer%40nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg19821.html) with the way that surface-based volumes and areas were calculated in Freesurfer versions 5.1 and earlier, I’d like to confirm that region-of-interest measures obtained using those earlier versions (e.g. when exporting the volume / surface area to tables using aparcstats2table) were unaffected by this bug (i.e. rerunning qcache should not change ROI-based results). 2. I’d like to also confirm that otherwise, for vertex-based analyses, it should be sufficient to run ‘recon-all subject –qcache’ using a more recent version of freesurfer in order to obtain accurate measures for data that was originally processed using 'recon-all –all' with an earlier version of freesurfer (I have data that was originally processed with version 4.4 and other data that was processed with version 5.1 that I would like to now examine in a surface-based manner). 3. The bug was related to how the measures were converted to standard space - I’d like to therefore confirm that when doing surface/vertex-based analyses, it is not necessary to use total brain volume as a covariate (whereas it is for ROI-based analyses).

Differences in the relative position of a particular structure across participants will make it difficult if not impossible to examine effects at the group level. If the vertex-wise data is in individual space, then I’m not sure that I understand how using total brain volume as a covariate would solve the above problem. I would greatly appreciate any clarifications that you might have.

[Freesurfer] Which atlas to use for optimal parcellation of the auditory cortex (HG and of the PT )?
Dear all, dear Christophe Destrieux, 1. I would like to know which is the best version of freesurfer to use, or rather regarding the best atlas to call (using a flag) in order to ensure that our parcellation of the auditory cortex, and of the first transverse temporal gyrus and of the planum temporale in particular, are optimal. I see in an email dated Jan 3rd of this year that it was suggested to use the 2009 atlas for this. Is this still the best option to use? 2. and..: Can I invoke this by using the ‘--annot aparc.a2009s’ flag when writing the results to a table after having run recon-all –all using freesurfer version 4.4? If I’m not mistaken, version 4.4 does not generate the 2009 atlas, and I will need to instead run a more recent version of freesurfer.

[Freesurfer] Postdoc position available - computational modeling and real-time fMRI neurofeedback of language
External Email - Use Caution With the launch of a new ‘NCCR Evolving Language’ (http://www.snf.ch/SiteCollectionDocuments/nfs/Faktenblatt_NCCR_evolvinglanguage_en.pdf), which involves nearly 40 different research groups from a large variety of disciplines across Switzerland, we seek to fill a Postdoc position for a four-year project starting in May 2020, or at the selected candidate’s earliest convenience. Our goal is to make progress in understanding the importance of prosody in language processing. To this end, we plan to carry out a set of studies involving both computational modeling of fMRI data and real-time fMRI neurofeedback to understand the mechanisms whereby prosody and rhythm support linguistic processing per se. The computational modeling work will be an extension of our recent work on the neural encoding of acoustic information in speech sounds (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31285622). The research will be done in the group of Narly Golestani (www.brainandlanguagelab.org<http://www.brainandlanguagelab.org>) in Geneva, in collaboration with researchers in Switzerland and abroad (Elia Formisano in Maastricht, and Frank Scharnowski in Vienna). Applicants should hold a degree in Biomedical Engineering, Computational Neuroscience, or a related field, and should have solid experience in human brain imaging, and ideally also in computational modelling (i.e. encoding / decoding) of fMRI data, real-time fMRI based neurofeedback, machine learning, statistics and programming. The NCCR places great emphasis on gender diversity and we particularly encourage women to apply. To apply, please send a cover letter, CV, names and contact information of 2-3 references as well as any other relevant documents to narly.golest...@unige.ch<mailto:narly.golest...@unige.ch>.

[Freesurfer] PhD Position in Multilingualism/Psycholinguistics
External Email - Use Caution With the launch of a new ‘NCCR Evolving Language’ (http://www.snf.ch/SiteCollectionDocuments/nfs/Faktenblatt_NCCR_evolvinglanguage_en.pdf), which involves nearly 40 different research groups from a large variety of disciplines across Switzerland, we seek to fill a PhD position for a four-year project starting in May 2020, or at the selected candidate’s convenience. Our goal is to make progress in understanding language giftedness from cognitive, psychological and neural perspectives. To this end, we plan to carry out a set of studies involving both behavioral measures of cognitive and language-related abilities (e.g. auditory/perceptual abilities, phonemic perception and production, inductive learning, working memory etc) and brain imaging measures (fMRI and sMRI). The research group involves two PIs (Golestani, Geneva; and Berthele, Fribourg) and a postdoc. Data will be collected with Francophone (mono- and multilingual) subjects. Applicants should hold an MA degree in psychology, linguistics or a related field (e.g. psycholinguistics, applied linguistics, multillingualism), have a good command French and English and have strong quantitative research and statistics skills. Additional mastery of German and experience with neuroimaging techniques would be a strong advantage. The NCCR places great emphasis on gender diversity and we particularly encourage women to apply. Applicants may send a pdf file including a cover letter, a CV, names and contact information of 2-3 references as well as any other relevant documents to narly.golest...@unige.ch<mailto:narly.golest...@unige.ch> and raphael.berth...@unifr.ch<mailto:raphael.berth...@unifr.ch>.
