Re: [Freesurfer] cortical surface area measurement and vertex-wise analysis

2014-10-10 Thread Donna Dierker
Hi Emma, I might not be the only one who is unsure what you mean by a vertex-wise cortical surface area measure. Do you mean something like what is illustrated in figures 2 and 3 here: http://www.pnas.org/content/107/29/13135.figures-only … which is similar, but not identical to the local gyr

Hi Alan & Knut, Isn't GI a function of surface area, i.e. GI = SurfaceAreaPial/SurfaceAreaHull, e.g.: http://www.frontiersin.org/files/Articles/668/fninf-03-025/image_m/fninf-03-025-g003.jpg The hull area (denominator) normalizes for scale, so I would not expect the GI and surface area to be i

My understanding is that GI is also a global summary stat across the whole hem, while lGI is *local* GI (vertex-wise). It measures how folded the cortex is at that vertex. GI and lGI are based on area, while the folding index is based on curvature. Truly different measures. Gyrification Inde

Think in 2D about averaging two sine waves that are shifted 90 degrees from one another. The length of of the resulting line will be far less than that of either curve. On 05/11/2011 11:20 PM, Michael Waskom wrote: > Hi Bruce, > > I've seen this brought up on the list a few times, and, I have t

I'm not, either, but I think some good brains are working on it (not mine). Jason Hill and Andy Knutsen developed a semi-automated method: http://brainvis.wustl.edu/LIGASE/ On 03/31/2011 07:53 AM, Lilla Zollei wrote: > Hi Adam, > > No, Freesurfer is not able to extract the neonatal cortical ribb

This is not my understanding. It is completely dependent on the threshold used, which can be arbitrary. See Supplemental figure 7, page 16 of this document: http://www.jneurosci.org/cgi/data/30/6/2268/DC1/1 This was the motivation for Smith & Nichols' TFCE: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1

Derin, You might try importing the surfaces into Caret for this. It seems like there are two needs: * flat cartesian grid (Menu bar: Layers: Borders: Create Cartesian Flat Analysis Grid Borders (see attached capture) * 3-D scale markers (Toolbar: D/C: Surface Miscellaneous: Surface Cartesian

Matt, I think we just do things differently. We adopted Ziad Saad's concept of a standard mesh. (Before Ziad conceived it, we didn't do this, either.) But not everyone does this. My mental model of how others do things is poor. I recall using mrisp_paint to get some scalars on our PALS su

FDR is NOT more conservative than cluster-based methods, in general. The smoother the data, the more conservative FDR is. In my experience with surface-based data, FDR has been less sensitive than cluster-based methods -- perhaps because my data was very smooth. > Stefan Brauns wrote: > >> W

I haven't experienced this with Freesurfer, but I have had this problem with Caret using Linux workstations with pre-installed NVIDIA drivers that were apparently not working correctly. Downloading and re-installing the NVIDIA driver corrected the problem on my Linux box. On 09/01/2009 01:32 P
