FAQ
How many individuals are accepted into the Virtual course?
- 20 people
Do postdocs qualify for the student rate?
- No, sorry.
Is there a discount for MGH or Martinos Center employees?
- Sorry, no.
I cannot pay by internal fund or credit card. Do I have any other options?
- If you are local, you may bring a cash payment to Allison Stevens (astevens at nmr dot mgh dot harvard dot edu) before the deadline. If you are not local, you may be able to pay via Western Union and Moneygram if it is addressed to Stacey Ladieu. Please contact Stacey (sladieu at nmr dot mgh dot harvard dot edu) first for details.
The course is full. Can you register me for the next one?
You can sign up for our course mailing list and you will be notified when registration for the next course opens (that list is here). You can also register for the currently full course to be put on the waiting list for it. This does not however automatically get you a spot in the next course.
Can I get a receipt for the course?
- Contact the payment coordinator, Stacey (sladieu at nmr dot mgh dot harvard dot edu) to arrange getting a receipt.
How do I know if my payment went through?
- If it hasn't we will contact you.
I have some data I would like to get your opinion on. Can I show it to you?
- Sure! But please know that if you show us during a tutorial, questions from students about that tutorial will have to take priority over personal data questions. If you email the course organizers (fscourse AT nmr.mgh.harvard.edu) prior to the course, they can try to arrange a time to discuss your data.
I need some help installing FreeSurfer on my laptop - I can't seem to get it to work. Can you help with that?
- Sure! Please email the course organizers (fscourse AT nmr.mgh.harvard.edu) for assistance.
Course Topics
Below is the list of topics. The course format is composed of lectures followed by hands-on tutorials so that you can gain experience interacting with data processed by FreeSurfer. A basic understanding of Linux is necessary to run and work with FreeSurfer.
Linux Demo/Tutorial (optional)
This Linux tutorial is very basic. Scripting will not be covered. This tutorial will cover how to to navigate (cd) through directories, how to copy files, how to make directories, how to use emacs, and how to set variables. For those who are not familiar with Linux, this tutorial is meant to get you comfortable enough to at least get through the FreeSurfer tutorials that are part of the course. If you have never used Linux before, this session is highly recommended.
Introduction to FreeSurfer Jargon (optional)
- Intended for those new to imaging software. Explains basic vocabulary such as voxel, surface, vertex, volume, segmentation, parcellation, registration, and recon.
Introduction to FreeSurfer
Overview of FreeSurfer's abilities.
Analyzing the Individual Subject in FreeSurfer
Description of each step of the FreeSurfer processing stream.
Freeview demonstration
- A live walk-through for how to use the Freeview GUI.
Interaction with Individual Subject Output - Tutorial
Using FreeSurfer's visualization tools to look at FreeSurfer output.
Region of Interest (ROI) Analysis - Talk and Tutorial
A description of the FreeSurfer atlases used in subcortical segmentation and cortical parcellation as well as the measures FreeSurfer provides. Information on creating and analyzing ROIs (volume vs. intensity studies).
FreeSurfer Troubleshooting - Talk and Tutorial
Discussion of the possible errors one may find in their FreeSurfer output and how to fix them.
Quality Checking a Recon
Live demo of how to scroll through FreeSurfer output and look for errors.
Surface-based Analysis: Intersubject Registration & Smoothing
- Volume vs. Surface-based analysis
Group Analysis/GLM/Multiple Comparisons (mri_glmfit)- Talk and Tutorial
