[Freesurfer] LME Contrasts - Longitudinal Analysis
Dear Freesurfer List, Reading the Wiki for the GLM procedures, I understood that that covariates that are “0” in the contrast matrix are “regressed out” (http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Fsgdf2G2V). I would like to know if this is also true for the LME contrasts (http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/LinearMixedEffectsModels), and if this applies both for categorical (e.g., gender) and continuous variables (e.g., age in years).

Re: [Freesurfer] Thin Surface
Thanks, Bruce. I pasted the mri_segment and mris_make_surfaces I found in three subjects’ logs. Expert opts would be -seg-wlo and -seg-ghi? Which values would be reasonable? Do they depend on scanning characteristics or do you have a sort of standard parameters for the software? Regards, Pedro Rosa.

[Freesurfer] RAM Replace
Dear all, I would like to know whether a RAM memory replacement in a Mac computer would change FreeSurfer 5.3 processing. I have a sample that was almost completely processed, but there are a few subjects whose acquisition are yet to be done. I would like know whether I could process such images after the RAM replacement without biasing the study. The change would be from a Markvision without ECC (error-correction code) to a Kingston with ECC.

[Freesurfer] Cortical Misegmentation
Dear FreeSurfer, I have found several subjects to have temporal lobe misegmentations (usually neocortical, as attached, but sometimes mesial tempporal), and less frequently in the insula.

Re: [Freesurfer] Cortical Misegmentation
Hi, Bruce. I am currently putting the file (Well-C0-T1w-023-20050425_124.zip) - it will take a while. I was able to make it a lot better using the Topological Defect correction in tkmedit. Is it suitable for this task? I have not tried adding control points. This is an older data with a quite long follow-up, so unfortunately I can not change the acquisition. Sorry, I am unaware of the type of receive coil that was used. Thanks, Pedro Rosa.

[Freesurfer] Longitudinal - varying geometries
Dear FreeSurfers, I have read in the Mailing list (http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer%40nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg32753.html and others) other users asking questioning in regard of a Warning from FreeSurfer 5.3 longitudinal pipeline (-base step): \n*** WARNING: Image geometries differ across time, maybe due to aquisition changes? This can potentially bias a longitudinal study! Will continue in 10s. ***\n I am working in a sample with a longotudinal design which receives this warn, although there was no change in hardware, and (supposedly) the acquisition protocol was the same. As requested by Martin in former posts in the Mailing List, I attached the output from mri_info */rawavg.mgz. I would like to know if these differences should be considered a bias in a longitudinal study and, if they should, if there is a way to fix it.

[Freesurfer] Insula
Dear FreeSurfers, I was correcting the topology of some subjects, and could not fix some subjects whose insula is misplaced into the temporal lobe / subcortical regions. Inspecting wm.mgz in tkmedit, it seems that there are wm voxels into the hippocampus, perhaps leading surfaces to be built there. Removing them, however, did not help (actually, it seems that it made things worse). Can you help me? I can upload the subject if it you think it is suitable.

[Freesurfer] Amazon EC2 for FreeSurfer 5.3
Dear FreeSurfer users, Has anyone succeeded in running FreeSurfer 5.3 in a cloud processing system, such as Amazon EC2? I have seen prior posts in regard of FreeSurfer 5.1 (https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2011-November/021181.html), but not for 5.3.

[Freesurfer] dt_recon
Dear developers, I am running an analysis with dt_recon, and it seems that my DWI files are organized into three series (one larger, and two smaller, that I believe are ADC and Trace). Inputing a DICOM file to dt_recon generates a .nii file from one of the series only (the larger one, once it has many more .dcm files). Thus, it ignores the smaller series. This is the first time I am working with DWI series, so I not quite sure if this way of organizing data is usual. I would appreciate help in regard of how to deal with this data and input it into dt_recon.

[Freesurfer] TRACULA analyses in glmfit
Dear Developers, Tracula’s Statistics wiki suggests one to use the statistical software of choice. Could it be glmfit? For that, I think I would need to concatenate each tract-by-voxel diffusion data from each subject (e.g., each diffusion data of course separately) in common space (e.g., MNI) and then input it to mri_glmfit / mri_glmfit-sim, whose output sig.mgh would be loaded in Freeview as a heatmap. I understood that diffusion data in Tracula is saved in .txt files, which cannot be inputed into mri_preproc or mri_label2vol. Is it possible to use glmfit with Tracula outputs?

Re: [Freesurfer] TRACULA analyses in glmfit
Hi Anastasia, Thanks for the clarification. I am happy to hear that you are working on that! As the byvoxel data includes MNI coordinates, I though it could be possible to assemble them to MNI 3D space. Thanks again! Pedro Rosa.
