Re: [Freesurfer] PALM Analysis

Hi Doug I wanted to follow up this email and ask you a question. I see in the fspalm page, it says "You can use fspalm with both volume- and surface-based analyses; it will figure everything out". Considering your reply to the below email, I'm wondering if we can use fspalm for subcortical anal

I don't really know myself. This part  runs a program from a 3rd party --  the MNI (n3 bias field correction); we did not write it so it  is hard for us to debug. We often have problems with this program, so unfortunately, it does not surprise me On 9/19/19 12:42 PM, Lauricella, Michael wrote:

Hello, I had emailed the Freesurfer Forum a few weeks back about trying the PALM analysis for permutation testing. I recently tried fsPalm again on running some of our subcortical analyses for the caudate, putamen, and nucleus accumbens, and we performed the following steps: * Set our res

What space are they in? Typically, I tell people to run recon-all on the mni152 volume, then map labels into that subject, then compute coords On 9/13/19 3:00 PM, Dev vasu wrote: > > External Email - Use Caution > > Dear all, > > I would like to obtain MNI coordinates for HCP annotations

Re: [Freesurfer] issue with lesions

2019-09-19 Thread Greve, Douglas N.,Ph.D.
There is  not an easy way to do this. FS expects an intact whole brain, and it tries to fit such into every brain, ie, it is trying to force a whole cerebellum where there is none. What some people do is to fill the lesion with "reasonable" intensities, eg, from the contralateral side. Eg, you

You can run corrections for multiple comparisons (mri_glmfit-sim) to get clusters of significant effects, then compute the mean over those clusters. On 9/19/19 8:08 AM, AKUDJEDU, THEOPHILUS wrote: > > External Email - Use Caution > > > Dear FreeSurfer, > > I used QDEC for the longitudinal

If you are getting negative values, it probably means that your model (instantiated by the X matrix) is not proper in some ranges. The formula below extrapolates the effects of the covariates in order to subtract them off of a subject's value. If the model is not quite right, then the extrapola

Not sure then. I've seen cases where the creation of symbolic links was not possible on a cluster. It does not look like this is the problem, but it could be doing something behind the scenes. Can you verify that you can create a symlink from a program on the cluster? I've cc'ed Rob D who can h
