Dear Matt and freesurfers, I am encounting this old problem, that is, using fsl_sub to launch FreeSurfer jobs in SGE and get this error message: (standard_in) 2: Error: comparison in expression and freesurfer stoped. But running freesurfer without fsl_sub is OK (using fsl_sub to launch other c

Hi Yue if you sample them on to the surface with mri_vol2surf you can use the overlay histogram facility in tksurfer to do what you want. You can also use mask_label to remove values outside of an ROI if that is what you are interested in. cheers Bruce On Fri, 1 Nov 2013, ?? wrote: Hi All,

Hi Bruce, Thanks for the information. The surface works for me. These histograms generated from the surfaces, if I understand correctly, are based on the intensities along the boundaries of one region. Can I also generate histograms including the whole region? Like Pick putamen or caudate and g

Hi Yue tksurfer will only display cortical histograms. For subcortical regions you are probably best off using something like matlab (which would be pretty trivial) cheers Bruce On Fri, 1 Nov 2013, ?? wrote: Hi Bruce, Thanks for the information. The surface works for me. These histograms g

I think the latest version of FSL has this sorted out (it doesn't change your machine's POSIXLY_CORRECT setting except briefly in the middle of fsl_sub). Peace, Matt. From: chenchunhuichina Date: Friday, November 1, 2013 2:55 AM To: Matt Glasser Cc: free surfer Subject: ERROR: comparison

Dear Freesurfers and experts Can any one please tell me what the offset box next to the max. box (under Threshold) in QDEC GUI is for? When I change from e.g 0 to 1 or higher I get larger significant clusters. How and when is this feature used? I also notice this very question is on the archive

Hi Bruce, Thanks. Is it statistically sound to use e.g offset 1? My between-group results are not FDR corrected at offset 0, but if I change the offset to 1 results will be larger in size and FDR corrected! Any pitfalls with that? Cheers Hamza On 01/11/2013 15:53, "Bruce Fischl" wrote: >Hi Ha

the surfaces can be used to sample in many different ways using options to mri_vol2surf. For example you could average over the ribbon then display the histogram of that. For subcortical structures the surfaces don't make sense, so you are better off just doing it in matlab cheers Bruce On Fr

Hi Doug, Thanks, this seems to work! Quick question -- in the past we've done ROI analyses where we've functionally constrained our labels. When calculating percent signal change we would take the output from funcroi-table-sess divide it by the output of funcroi-table-sess with no -c flag (the ba

It depends on how are you defining "percent contrast". What you are are slightly different methods. Using -m cespct is equivalent to computing 100*Sum(contrast_i/baseline_i)/N where i is a voxel in the ROI Your method is equivalent to computing 100*Sum(contrast_i)/Sum(baseline_i) So they will
