[Freesurfer] hippocampal subfields: from posterior to binary masks

2014-09-08 Thread Luigi Antelmi
Dear list members, as you know, the hippocampal subfields given back by FreeSurfer (posterior_left_CA1.mgz, posterior_left_CA2-3.mgz, etc.) are posterior probability maps in the range [0-255] (i.e. [0-1] with 8 bit of quantization). Although there is a way to calculate the volume ( kvlQuantifyPost

When doing a FC analysis, there is no need to run mkcontrast. selxavg3-sess figures out that you are doing a FC analysis and creates the appropriate contrast. The name of the contrast automatically created will be the name of the FC passed to fcseed-config, eg, if you used -fcname L_Posteriorc
