I think that the ces is the better map to use, but there's not a consensus. For some reason that I don't understand, people starting using the z-map or the correlation coefficient as the input to the group level in contradiction to everything that had ever been done in task-based analysis. In

[Freesurfer] -per-run analysis in native space

Hi Surfers, I want to find a way to analyze subcortical activities in native space and still take advantage of per-run registration. As far as I understand, this is not possible in current preproc-sess. We need one extra step in which we have to map all fmcpr.nii.gz files to subject's orig.mg

The statistic maps (z, t, correlation coefficient) depend on the noise of the individual analysis, ie, two subjects could have identical correlation but have different correlation coefficient or z because one is noisier than the other (eg, moves more, physio is different). This means that you

What do you mean by normalized? The intensity is normalized in both, ces to the grand mean over the brain, and cespct to the voxel mean. I've done experiments with both and can't find a big difference (though I've not looked in resting state). I usually just use ces doug On 03/27/2015 03:21 P

Hi Alex, mris_preproc produces a stack images (27 in the first case and 16 in the 2nd case). For some reason the first two images are the same in both stacks. This is the way that you have run the program because both calls to mris_preproc use NNC0035_pet_lh.mgh and NNC0045_pet_lh.mgh as the f

[Freesurfer] FS-FAST event length duration

Hi, How does event length/duration contribute to an FS-FAST analysis. Will I produce different results, if I specify an event length of 1 second versus an event length of 0.1 seconds? Most importantly, if yes, how will they differ? The reason I am asking is formerly I would use the actual duratio

Re: [Freesurfer] FS-FAST event length duration

It depends on how long your event is. For most designs where the events are on the order of seconds it should not make much of a difference. For very short events, I'm not sure. On 03/27/2015 04:13 PM, dgw wrote: > Hi, > > How does event length/duration contribute to an FS-FAST analysis. Will >

just read in the label of the roi of interest and read in the respective lh/rh.white (if interested in the white surface) and take the average of those labels 3d points (note, this will do strange things: not be on the surface. It may not even be in Brain tissue). If you then want to be on a vertex
