Hi Liat- If you converted directly using mri_convert, you may run into some problems. If so, I suggest using the program Ziad wrote (@SUMA_Make_Spec_FS) which takes care of some of the freesurfer/AFNI conversion problems automatically. See the AFNI posts on this issue. Anthony Doug Greve wr

If you are just getting started, this is the best place. http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/RecommendedReconstruction Once you have the basics the wiki is much more manageable. I think manual is at the bottom of the list because functionality is at the top. Anthony Eliezer Kanal wrote:

This is just a thought, but is this issue mitigated to some degree if you can show that the regions in which you are interested meet a certain minimum signal to noise ratio? Or maybe a more stringent requirement would be necessary, such that the SNR of the ROIs don't differ significantly? Alwa

Hello all, We are looking to develop a cerebellum atlas training set based on the Schmahmann et al (2000) parcellation so we can automatically segment the cerebellum based on this atlas. Does this exist already? I know Makris and colleagues had done something similar to this, but I am not sure

Hello all, Is there any atlas to which these tracs are referenced? For cortical anatomical boundaries there is broad consensus and a published referenced atlas, which makes Freesurfer's automatic parcellation of cortical regions an excellent tool. But there is not (as is often assumed) as bro
