[Freesurfer] problems about extracting specific vertex thickness value and getting a average thickness for a specific mask

Hi FS experts and users I have done the each subjects' surface regestration on fsaverage surface, and merge all of them into a *.mgh. Group analysis is also completed. Now I have two questions: 1,I want to extract the VtxMax vertex number thickness for all subjects. The VtxMax vertex number can

You should try to run recon_all command with -all flag to run on the structural T1 dataset. After that you can use the tutorials from the freesurfer wiki to do a Feat analysis. For recon_all you need to specify only the subject and the script automatically does the rest. Segmentation and parcellat

Hi Sampada the recon-all script is designed to analyze T1-weighted structural data. Once that has been done, it can be used to facilitate fMRI analysis. Is that what you are trying to do? What are the 8 volumes? cheers Bruce On Fri, 9 May 2014, Dr Sampada Sinha wrote: Hello Freesurfer, Th

Hi Gabor, sorry, I still don't know what you mean. The volume estimates in aseg.stats do include partial volume estimates. Do you mean to include only the volume of a structure that comes from partial volume voxels? Would that really be useful? For something like the hippocampus it will be a lo

Hi Jodie, 'years' should contain the real time between time points (usually, unless you have test-retest where time is irrelevant, or different task that can be ordered as you like). For what you are trying to do you should use linear mixed effects models with a piecewise linear setup. This wi

Hi Greg I would probably say the reverse. In general mprage is optimal for CNR/unit time in terms of gray/white contrast. Flash has some advantage for e.g. distinguishing pallidum from putamen, but you would need to modify our recon stream to take advantage of them cheers Bruce On Thu, 8 May
