Hi, I took a look at this and saw that the error comes from the "getmatlab" script ($FREESURFER_HOME/fsfast/bin/getmatlab). It is a CSH script, which I thought might be the issue. Specifically, the script checks for the existence of matlab by (unsurprisingly) set MATLAB = `which matlab`; On Dr.

Hi Jennifer - Ostensibly your pathways and environment variables look correct. I ran into this problem once before, so I changed from BASH to the enhanced C shell and it worked. You may want to try that. All you need to do is to exit out of bash and set the environment in tcsh and it could work.

Agreed, especially so with MD. Keep in mind that you¹re upsampling MD from a lower-res (diffusion) space to a higher-res (T1) space, so it should be smooth already, relatively to measure derived from the T1. And MD varies pretty smoothly (it¹s a mean of 3 things, after all). On 8/11/17, 1:11 PM, "

Appreciate it Dr Bruce. Do you have guidelines for smoothing MD?  Dr Yendiki, I am trying to investigate whether cortical MD can be a marker of neurodegeneration. The idea is that during the early stages of a disease, cellular microstructure may breakdown before cortical thinning occurs. This re

Hi Shane you probably don't need cvs as it is more to extend the surface-based registration to the entire volume. Here you just need the surface-based registration I believe. Use mri_vol2surf to sample the FA onto the surface. After that it is identical to a thickness study cheers Bruce O
