VasudevThanksDear Sir,Can i align rfMRI +DTI to each subjects Structural data using flirt, my only concern is whether such alignment will influence the parcellation that i would like to perform on group level.On 11 January 2017 at 13:55, Anderson M. Winkler <[log in to unmask]> wrote:AndersonAll the best,Hi Vasudev,Yes, you can. FLIRT works with images that have different types of contrast. Consider using FA when aligning the DTI, though, as opposed to the raw diffusion-weighted images.On 10 January 2017 at 15:10, Dev vasu <vasudevamurthy.devulapally@gmail.com > wrote:VasudevThanksDear Sir,Can i use FLIRT for aligning DTI+fMRI and sMRI ? , I am not sure if such multimodal alignment will work properly with FLIRT .On 7 January 2017 at 13:04, Anderson M.

Winkler <[log in to unmask]> wrote:Hi Vasudev,There are many different ways in which the brain can be parcellated, based on anatomy, function, and combinations thereof. The paper by Brett et al. (2002, http://www.nature.com/nrn/journal/v3/n3/full/nrn756.html ) had a different original purpose but it's useful here too in reviewing what different features can mean. And major multimodal parcellation effort using data from the HCP has just been published (Glasser et al, 2016, http://www.nature.com/nature/j ournal/v536/n7615/full/nature1 ).8933.html Given what you seem interested in clustering, perhaps consider as a starting point the work by Craddock et al (Human Brain Mapping, 2012, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21769991 ). Some additional details and the scripts are available freely here and here.All the best,AndersonOn 4 January 2017 at 19:50, Dev vasu <vasudevamurthy.devulapally@gmail.com > wrote:VasudevThanksDear Sir,Is there any approach where i can perform Group wise multimodal parcellation, I want to include T1w,T2w,rfMRI, and DTI or 2 groups of subjects (25 healthy and 25 diseased controls with BLVP) and perform multimodal clustering on whole brain.

Subject: Re: [FSL] Group Average parcellation
To: FSL - FMRIB's Software Library <[log in to unmask]>VasudevThanksI know that we can easily define a seed region on an Atlast ( MNI 152 or Harvard oxford atlas ) but i would like use clustering approach for whole brain parcellation.Dear Sir,I would like to measure the neural activity of visual vestibular interaction between healthy controls and patients with bilateral vestibulopathy ,for this i have thought of using seed based functional connectivity to examine visual vestibular changes in BLVP patients in my study,
I would like to perform whole brain clustering on 2 groups of subjects that i have ( 25 healthy and 25 BLVP ) and extract 600 - 700 ROIs using temporal correlation and i feel this is better way to define a seed region to investigate functional connectivity changes , kindly let me know if there is any thing wrong in my approach, your suggestions are greatly appreciated.On 4 January 2017 at 12:32, Anderson M.
