[Freesurfer] editing and converting

Hi Freesurfers, I am new to this software and i am trying to learn how to use it. I have two questions: 1) if I do recon-all on a group of 20 subject, and I am primarily interested in a few regions (In my case - amygdala, insula and anterior cingulate cortex), do I have to edit all the datasets

Hi Jenny 1) yes, they are usually fine, but you *always* should look at the regions you are hoping to make biological statements about. 2) mri_convert -rl rawavg.mgz -rt nearest aseg.mgz aseg.rawavg.nii Wold convert the aseg. Not that they are already in the original RAS space, just a differen

Hi Gabriel Colin27 I believe has been reconned, and if not you can just run it and use our standard tools for mapping. The others you can use the talairach.xfm for, but it won't be terribly accurate. You can't use our training and labeling unless you have the original datasets that went into the

Hi Yuval, while I have no real clue about your specific issues, it reminds e of an issue we had in the past. We had used some condition names that start with a number instead of a letter (e.g. "90degree") and the parsing code choked on that, as it uses the first character of a field and tries t

Hi Bryon - I was able to reconstruct the forceps major in your subject after tweaking some of the 7 control points for the initialization. I'm attaching the text file with the corrected control points - just drop it in dlabel/diff and rerun the path reconstruction (don't use reinit, though!)

Hi Prerona - I think this is explained in the archives on the same thread as the bedpostx upgrade issue. If you run bedpostx outside of trac-all, you should create dmri/data.nii.gz as a symbolic link to dmri/dwi.nii.gz and dmri/nodif_brain_mask.nii.gz as a symbolic link to whichever brain mas

Hi Ping - The total number of paths that were sampled doesn't enter the picture. Of these sampled paths, some get rejected and some get accepted. The latter are added up to get an estimate of the posterior probability distribution of the path (that's path.pd.nii.gz). You can normalize to a tot

Hi Maia - It would still be probabilistic global tracrography, you'd just run it without anatomical priors since you don't have any prior knowledge of what areas your pathway goes through. For each subject you'd need to define the two end ROIs of the pathway and (this is the trickier part) an
