Hi, recon-all takes an anatomical volume as input, not a functional one. You can give it any slice that is in the correct series (just specify one) and it will find the others. cheers Bruce On Tue, 6 Mar 2012, bowan...@mail.ustc.edu.cn wrote: > Dear all >I just want to ask a sample quest

Hi Allie, yes, it means that each group is affected differently by age. The controls are increasing their thickness with age in this area (which seems strange, usually you expect general decreases with age). You might check the quality of the surfaces in this area. doug Allie Rosen wrote: > Hi

Yes, you can do this in a few steps. Use mri_binarize to convert the ribbon.mgz into a binary mask of just the cortex (use the --match option). Then use mri_binarize with aseg.mgz to get the hippocampus (17 for left, see $FREESURFER_HOME/FreeSurferColorLUT.txt). Then add them together with fsc

So if my findings show that each group ages differently, does that mean I can't compare them at all because I can't regress out age? Or is there some way of comparing the groups despite this difference in aging patterns? Thanks again, Allie On Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 4:44 PM, Douglas N Greve wrote:

It means that any comparison depends on age. Eg, if you compare them at an age where the lines cross, you will see no effect. If you compare them at age=0 (what you were doing before), then you see a big effect. Some statisticians will say that you cannot do the comparison in the presence of an

Hi Alex, analyzing in the anatomical space is going to be very, very costly in terms of space and memory (and I don't really have a way to do it). It is probably better to do it in mni305 space and turn off the masking out of cortex (-no-subcort-mask). You can then run reg-mni305.2mm to create
