Sorry that I did not make it claer. The resampling did not fail, just the result was not good. The resamping process is like this: I treated reconstructed cortical surfaces as functions defined on a sphere. Meanwhile, I divided a sphere into 163842 points and 300,000+ triangles by iterativel

instead of changing the average you can generate a registration with less distortion by for example invoking mris_register with -dist 1 to increase the penalty on the metric distortion term On Thu, 20 Sep 2007, Jiefeng Jiang wrote: Sorry that I did not make it claer. The resampling did not fa

[Freesurfer] t-value saved values

Hi, I asked about this last week, and had a nice discussion with Doug, but somehow in that we never got the answer to my original question. When FreeSurfer saves t-values (in F.mgh), what is it actually saving? The numbers in the file do not have a t-distribution (even when the source data f

Hi Bruce, Thank you for your suggestions. I just finished the -autorecon1 step with v4.0.1 for 20 subjects, and checked the talairach registration with tkregister2. I found that most subjects' talairach volume looked smaller than the T1 volume. Suppose this is a "not very good" talairach regist

Xaingchuan, The new v4.0 freesurfer contains an automatic failure detection step to determine if its talairach alignment is correct. If your -autorecon1 step did not fail, then you can be assured that the alignment is good enough to complete the rest of the recon-all process. To double-check, yo

[Freesurfer] Problem concerning maximum values from mri_volcluster

Dear FreeSurfers, I'm getting odd results from mri_volcluster-the max voxel listed for a given cluster often does not appear to actually be the max in that cluster. This most often appears to happen with small clusters and negative significance values. Below is an example made with abs thre

The values in F.mgh are F dist under the null. But you should only have an F there if it is a multivariate contrast (ie, the contrast matrix has more than one row). doug Don Hagler wrote: Are you sure that it is saving t-values in F.mgh and not F-stats? From: Glenn Lawyer <[EMAIL PRO

Well, I'm dealing with a patient with an heterogeneous lesion. Somehow, the lesion area seems to have misled the algorithm in terms of white and pial surface definition, leading to an erroneous cortical thickness measure in that area. What I was interested in analising (if possible) is the dispersi

if you draw a label outlining the region you can use mris_anatomical_stats -l to get the thickness standard deviations I think. Usually they aren't that interesting because the thickness varies with geometry (e.g. sulci are thinner than gyri). cheers, Bruce On Thu, 20 Sep 2007, Inês Souta w
