[Freesurfer] Total WM and GM Vol in FS 5.0.0

2012-03-08 Thread Dhinakaran Chinappen
Hi all, I am using Freesurfer 5.0.0, before the outputs for cortical and subcortical GM and WM were made available in the final output files. What is the best way to calculate total gray matter volume (cortical and subcortical)? Is it through mris_anatomical_stats or mri_segstats? Also, are there

Hi Tanja, yes, 3T will have more dielectric/RF penetration inhomogeneity than 1.5T. There was also a change to recon-all that caused the control points to be applied to the subcortical normalize as well as cortical (previously it was just cortical) that a number of people have now reported mes

Hi Julia, qdec cannot handle 3 levels. You'll have to use the command-line stream (ie, creating your own fsgd and contrasts and running mris_preproc, mris_surf2surf, and mri_glmfit). doug Richter, Julia wrote: > Dear freesurfer experts, > > I am trying to run a volume analysis with qdec. One of

[Freesurfer] strange values for % signal change

Hi all, we're using 5.1 to analyze some single subject, event-related functional data, and are getting some strangely high values for % signal change when using func2roi-sess and roisummary-sess. Here are the commands we're running: func2roi-sess -s LMV2012_N01_heading -roidef rhmed_singlevsd

Hi Finnegan, there's nothing there that looks wrong with your commands, but I agree that those values look too high. It is possible that some of the 12 voxels in the ROI is causing the problem. If you go into the subject's analysis dir, you'll see a mask there that corresponds to your ROI. You

That is just a color lookup table that has an exhaustive list of possible regions. We do not label all of these, and some of them appear in some segmentations and not in others. I don't know who (or what program) does that thalamus labeling (it is not part of a2005s). It is probably part of th

The only thing that I can think of is that the data are really noisy and you're just getting a really big spread. I computed the efficiency of condition 18, and it was pretty low. The variance reduction factor was actually less than 1, meaning that you are actually amplifying the noise in your

It might be ok to do it the way that you suggest. If you have an event that does not have many presentations, then it will be susceptible to noise. If you then average that with other events that have many presentations, then the average will be contaminated and it will be better to combine the
