Re: [Freesurfer] FsFast Functional Connectivity Analysis

Hi Doug, My issue is I am not intending to use a labeled segmented ROI. My main goal is to calculate the connectivity strength between two binarized ROIs that are functionally defined. Can fcseed-config accept non Freesurfer segmented ROIs? Thanks, JIahe On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 11:08 AM, Douglas

You need to have your ROI as a segmentation in the anatomical (conformed) space. If it is a label on the surface, you can use mri_label2vol to turn it into a volume (make sure to use --proj frac 0 1 .1 to fill the ribbon). When you run funcroi-config specify -seg yourseg.mgz 1 where yourseg.m

Hi Doug, I was able to get the surface connectivity analysis to run successfully for the L.Cingulate example that you posted online ( http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsFastFunctionalConnectivityWalkthrough ). For my own analysis, I'm hoping to use my own functionally defined ROIs instead

How did you look at fmcpr.up.sm6.fsaverage.lh.nii.gz? If you did not do this, try it tksurfer fsaverage lh inflated -ov fmcpr.up.sm6.fsaverage.lh.nii.gz -t fmcpr.up.sm6.fsaverage.lh.nii.gz This will bring up an overlay as well as a time course On 08/11/2014 05:05 PM, Jiahe Zhang wrote: > Both

two ways: 1. run tkregister-sess to visually check them 2. look at the first value in register.dof6.dat.mincost. It is hard to say what a threshold is for a good registration, but typical values are about .5 or so. If it is .8 or more, it is probably a problem (and probably the initialization i

I'm not sure how to check the registration. I see a register.dof6.dat being produced for each run but I can't tell if it contains the correct parameters. How can I tell if the registration was accurate? On Mon, Aug 11, 2014 at 4:01 PM, Douglas N Greve wrote: > did you check the registration? >

There's nothing even when the threshold is set to 0. I just checked the preprocessing outputs. I can see normal-looking volumes fmcpr.nii.gz fmcpr.up.nii.gz fmcpr.up.sm6.mni305.2mm.nii.gz But there is nothing when I open fmcpr.up.sm6.fsaverage.lh.nii.gz or fmcpr.up.sm6.fsaverage.rh.nii.gz On

When you say that they are "empty" what do you mean? That there is nothing above threshold or that there is nothing regardless of how low the threshold is? See if you get something if you set the thresh close to 0. Does this happen in the volume and the surface? Have you checked the registrati

Hi Lingqiang, I did not have a strong reason not to do the low pass filtering. I think I tried it once and it did not seem to make much difference, so I did not implement it in FSFAST. The differences may be due to filtering, but there are a lot of other places where things can be different too

Thanks Doug. The labels work perfectly now. I also have a methodological question about the fsfast connectivity analysis: functional connectivity analyses in the literature (Biswal, etc) only looks at low-frequency fluctuations from BOLD signals. After preprocessing and regressing out nuisance re

Hi Lingqiang, convert your .label file to a volume using mri_label2vol for each subject, something like cd $SUBJECTS_DIR/$subject/mri mri_label2vol --label lh.yourlabel.label --temp orig.mgz --regheader orig.mgz --subject $subject --hemi lh --proj frac 0 1 .1 --o yourlabel.mgz When you run fcse

Hi Maya, the problem is that the wm.dat file, by default, only has one column (just the mean of the WM). It is possible to have the top N principle components in the wm.dat file, but this needs to be set up when you configure the WM fcseed (it does not really help much). The same goes for VCSF.
