Re: [Freesurfer] Matrix ill-conditioned and "yellow brain"

2007-11-06 Thread Doug Greve
There is not an error, per se. An ill-conditioned matrix means that your design matrix has two or more columns that are too similar. Check your continuous variables to see whether they are similar (eg, age and education level). Finally, it is difficult to diagnose the problem without more inf

Hello, I am configuring a Freesurfer installation for two different types of computers (headless servers and workstations). For both sets of computers we want any non-OpenGL commands that are run to first go through python scripts which load balance (these are working fine); however we have

[Freesurfer] spmregister on 64 bit

2007-11-06 Thread Doug Greve
I have spmregister (and spmregister-sess) working on 64 bit machines. The fix is to set the FS_SPMREG_MATLAB to point to the 7.0.1 version of matlab. In the NMR Center, you can just: setenv FS_SPMREG_MATLAB /usr/pubsw/common/matlab/7.0.1/bin/matlab You can do this without affecting the versi

Dan, The GUI apps all use Tcl/Tk, and scuba2 and qdec also use Vtk and KWWidgets. All the apps have wrapper scripts which call one or more of the scripts tcl_setup, vtk_setup and kww_setup, which set paths to the libraries, prior to calling the .bin. So for example, 'tkmedit' is a wrapper script

[Freesurfer] optseq2 questions

Greetings Freesurfers, I am using optseq2 for the first time to generate a stimulus order for my trials and figure out the ideal ITI between trials. I have a few questions about how this works. 1. I tried specifying the PSD max as 18 seconds and minimum of 2 seconds. My ntp is 216 and my TR is

[Freesurfer] Manual edits to aseg.mgz/brainmask.mgz

Hello all, I was wondering if there is a quick way to make edits to multiple slices of the aseg.mgz (or the brainmask.mgz) volume. Specifically, I am working on my first subject, and it seems that on almost every slice, pieces of the dura/skull/arachnoid/what-have-you get segmented as cortex

Hi Chris, what type of acquisition are you using? Dura can be really hard to deal with, as it can look just like gm, depending on your MR parameters, and it is can also be physically adjacent to gm. That said, it's only usually a problem in localized areas. What resolution is your data? We hav

RE: [Freesurfer] Manual edits to aseg.mgz/brainmask.mgz

2007-11-06 Thread Watson, Christopher
The acquisitions are SPGRs, taken on either a GE 3T or 1.5T (I'm not exactly sure, I'm new to the job). Yea, in a lot of areas the dura is adjacent to the grey matter. Those are certainly the problem areas - in most other areas the segmentation is excellent. I'm not sure of the resolution. ---

you can use mri_info on your dicoms to find out the resolution. Hopefully it's not too far from 1mm isotropic. If it's 1.5 or bigger in any dimension that might explain the trouble. On Tue, 6 Nov 2007, Watson, Christopher wrote: The acquisitions are SPGRs, taken on either a GE 3T or 1.5T (I
