[Freesurfer] A function to read mgh files into R

2011-05-04 Thread Heath Pardoe
Hi all, I've written a function that reads *.fsaverage.mgh files into the free statistical software environment "R" (http://www.r-project.org/) and thought it might be useful for other users. Apologies if this has already been done, searching for "R" is kind of non-specific. Any feedback is welcom

You can edit the label by hand to only include one vertex. If you got the label from a call to mri_surfcluster, then surfcluster will output a summary file with the max vertex in each cluster. doug Gallen, Courtney (NIH/NIDA) [F] wrote: > Thank you so much for your suggestion! > > Doug, is ther

Thank you so much for your suggestion! Doug, is there a way to modify the mri_segstats command from before to specify coordinates of a vertex (say the peak from the ROI in my contrast)? Thanks! -Original Message- From: Michael Harms [mailto:mha...@conte.wustl.edu] Sent: Wednesday, May

Hi Gallen, I suggest that you extract the values across subjects at a single vertex in fsaverage space, and then attempt to duplicate FS's uncorrected t- and p-values at that vertex with your SPSS model. Those HAVE to be identical if you are truly using the same model (unless there is an unknown

Thanks for the reply! I'm fairly certain that I'm using the same model. In Qdec: 2 discrete variables, 1 nuisance variable. In SPSS: a univariate ANOVA with 2 factors and 1 covariate. I understand the difference between Qdec and SPSS may be because Qdec looks at the entire cortex. Are there any

There's something strange going on. Did your label come from the right hemisphere? The first coordinate of all the points is negative, indicating that it is on the left side. Which MNI atlas are you using? doug 7705 -36.725 5.727 20.658 0.00 Yolanda Vives wrote: > I am using the coord

Hello. Freesurfer experts: After autorecon3, Freesurfer generates the thickness measure of pre-defined ROIs from Desikan’s parcellation. Now I want to make a picture illustration of thickness but only with rostral middle frontal ROI. My questions are: 1 which surface would be fit for the illus

Hi jeff. Probably your Talairach registrations fail. There are several different maps. I don't remember which one is the one used for the eTIV but it is documented on the wiki. You probably looked at the wrong transforms. Best Martin Send from my phone On May 4, 2011, at 2:47 AM, Jeff Sadino

It's a numerical issue having to due with adding very large numbers with very small ones. You don't get exactly the right number out, so there is a small error. Over many operations, these errors accumulate. doug On 5/4/11 7:17 AM, soft.join Huang wrote: Oh, sorry, Greve. I misunderstood your
