[Freesurfer] Two questions about csd (cluster simulation data)

2012-09-14 Thread Shanqing Cai
Hi,

These might be old questions, but I couldn't find any entries related to
them in the archives.

1) In the surface and volume csd files, what are the units of the
"maxclustsize" columns? Are they mm^2 and mm^3 for surface and volume,
respectively? Or are the voxel / vertex counts?

2) When mri_surfcluster uses a csd file to compute the cluster-wise correct
p-values, how does it do that? Does it only use the maxclustsize? Or does
it take other columns, such as maxsig, into account as well?


Thanks!

Best,
Shanqing Cai

[Freesurfer] "Holes" in the mri_label2vol results

2011-08-01 Thread Shanqing Cai
Hi,

I am using mri_label2vol to generate some volume ROIs from surface labels. I
noticed that the results contain "holes", by which I mean voxels that aren't
label and are surrounded by labeled voxels. This seems to happen regardless of
the step size I specify after the "--proj" option of mri_label2vol and this
happens in both the gray- and white-matter projections. I am using FS 5.1.0.

I wonder whether other people have experienced similar problems and how these
holes can be gotten rid of.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Shanqing Cai

[Freesurfer] Tracula references

2011-09-24 Thread Shanqing Cai
Hi,

I am using Tracula in my diffusion data analysis and am interested in finding
out what would be the best citations or references for this tool. A quick
Internet search brings me to two conference papers, one in ISMRM and one in an
IEEE conference. Are there any journal articles that have been published on
Tracula? I need the information for better understanding of the tool and
possible citations in future publications.

Thank you.

[Freesurfer] mri_glmfit weighted random effects

2010-07-21 Thread Shanqing Cai
Hi,

I have a question about the "weighted random effects" option in the "mri_glmfit"
command. Are there any specific references (papers or books etc.) for that
approach, i.e., using contrast variance images to weigh the contrast images in
a second-level analysis. Also, would it be possible for me to access the source
code of that particular module ("mri_glmfit") to see how the algorithm is
implemented? The FreeSurfer source that used to be accessible from the ftp
server (surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu) is not only there for some reason.

Thank you very much!

Shanqing Cai

[Freesurfer] Tracula bedp error

Hi,

I am running Tracula on the MIT BCS cluster. The first step "-prep" finished
without error. However, during the second step "-bedp" I received the following
error messages.

It seems that there are errors related to SGE configurations. Anyone has any
suggestions w.r.t. how to solve this problem?

Thanks!

[Freesurfer] A question about the Freesurfer version compatibility of Tracula

2011-07-07 Thread Shanqing Cai
Hi,

I am using Tracula, a new tool that comes with version 5.1.0 of FreeSurfer.
However, my data set are processed with the recon-all of an earlier version of
FreeSurfer: 5.0.0. I wonder whether I need to rerun recon-all on all the
subjects in the data set with 5.1.0. Would running Tracula on 5.0.0
reconstructions cause any problems that render the results unusable/not
trustable?

Thank you!

Best,
Shanqing Cai
