1. You are better off expanding the white surface by 3mm using mris_expand. 2. There is code around for this but I don't know it, perhaps Matti and/or Rudolph can comment. 3. What are you merging? cheers Bruce On Tue, 7 Jan 2014, Octavian Lie wrote: > Dear All, > > 1. I need to erode the ?h.p

Thank you, I want to merge the pial eroded (of white expanded) and downsampled surfaces of the two hemispheres in a new surface (generate a new, continuous, surface/mesh, no holes, no self intersections). The question is whether pial freesurfer atlases and spherical registration would be applica

Hi Sal, asegstats2table (and aparc..) will take the longitudinal qdec file and then automatically select the *.long.* directories to create the table. So there is no need to move them to a separate folder. The longitudinal qdec file is simply a table with at least 2 columns (for stacking res

can't you just use the existing spherical registration? Each subject has already been registered, so if you can keep track of the correspondence between downsampled and full surfaces you should be able to use the existing registration On Wed, 8 Jan 2014, Octavian Lie wrote: > Thank you, > > I

Hi Sofie, no, they don't correspond. You need to use mri_surf2surf to map one to the other (which is a bit tricky). cheers Bruce On Wed, 8 Jan 2014, Sofie Valk wrote: > Dear Free Surfers, > > I have a short question regarding the mapping of vertices of the > fsaverage_sym, how do vertices in t

To follow up, it is intended that you will map both hemispheres of a given subject to one of the hemispheres of fsaverage_sym (it does not matter which, but we usually use lh). You can then do the comparisons on that hemisphere. Does that make sense? doug On 01/08/2014 02:09 PM, Bruce Fischl

Hi Linda I had an old address for Mike in the first email. I think this one is correct. Building a folding atlas is pretty quick, depending on how many subjects you have. You'll need to pick one subject, run mris_make_template to build a single-subject template (for each hemi), register everyon

You can do it to the sig file (the p-value already assumes a two-sided test). Why do you want to do it with the ces and cesvar files? If you are planning to use the abs(ces) for a higher level analysis then you need to be very careful as you can get some unintended effects doug On 01/07/201

Re: [Freesurfer] absolute value of effect size

2014-01-08 Thread Douglas N Greve
Several potential problems. It makes the statistics non-gaussian and the abs(ces) becomes noise dependent (and so there will be a noise dependent bias). This makes interpretation more difficult (eg, is a difference between groups a difference in ces or a difference in noise?). The non-gaussian
