Hi Venkateswaran", 1. We'll need to see some examples to understand why it is happening. 2. We published some #s in our original PNAS paper, and there are certainly plenty of published thickness studies around. You'll want to match a bunch of things, including sequence and age for sure. 3. You s

I want to use contrast files that are outputs from SPM (in IMG HDR format) to overlay on inflated surfaces. But if I use bbregister and choose T1 as the image type, the regisration achieved is poor (image attached) Is this the correct way of doing this or am I missing something? Commands used:

Hi Lena, bbregister tool performs within-subject, cross-modal registration. I think poor registration is probably because you are using fsaverage. Sita. On Fri, 12 Feb 2010, Lena Palaniyappan wrote: > > > > On 12/02/2010 16:47, "Lena Palaniyappan" > wrote: > >> I want to use contrast files

Hi Lena, why do you want to use the contrast files and not the EPIs themselves? And why would the contrast by T1 weighted? In this context T1 means the stuff inside the surface (e.g. white matter) is brighter than the stuff outside the surface (e.g. gray matter). If the reverse is true then you

if you are doing within-subject then why use the contrast images instead of the volumes themselves? And if the VBM is derived from the same anatomicals as the FS surfaces aren't they already in register? On Fri, 12 Feb 2010, Lena Palaniyappan wrote: > Bruce & Sita - many thanks for your comment

freesurfer has what is called the 'longitudinal' processing stream which is intended for exactly this purpose. you will need v4.5.0 of freesurfer, as that version of recon-all contains the hooks to do this type of analysis. for complete details on how this works, see: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harva

Hi Derin, this is how I see it: The base might need edits and if it does, they should be made. As you say, the surfaces of the longitudinal runs are initialized with the surface of the base, so, if it is not correct, this will pollute all time points. Another reason to edit the base is that wm e

Hi Jeff, usually the aseg overestimates the gray matter, I think because the manual segmentations it is based on also overestimate (they label voxels that are mostly CSF as gray), so I don't find the direction of the effect surprising. Both methods use partial volume correction to account for
