FreeSurfer Installation needed for Tutorial?

Discussions

Dear All,

I'm going through the tutorial 3: once I input the fiducial coordinates and save I don't see any import from FreeSurfer and I don't see the same anatomy as the one displayed in the Tutorial.

I only continue seeing the same as after the import and I was under the impression that such data was already imported from FreeSurfer, is it not? Or do I need to install FreeSufer first?

And indeed, I have tried to install FreeSurfer and not sure if you can help with FreeSurfer installation but I have had absolutely no success with it!!! And any help would be welcome!

I have installed FreeSurfer in Virtual Box (4096 MB Memory; 32 MD Video Memory; Ubuntu 64 Bits) with an Ubuntu system that works fine but I cannot unzip the “freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0.tar.gz” file to install FreeSurfer and being new to Linux:

i. I’m not sure if at all the files are unzipped from the .gz file.
ii. And I have been unable to create the Bash files to define the environment for it.

Any help appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Rodrigo Montenegro

You don’t need FreeSurfer to import the anatomy distribute with this Brainstorm tutorial.
You will need only if you want to run it on your own subjects. For support with the FreeSurfer software, please contact the FreeSurfer developers.

With what you describe, I guess you selected the menu “Import MRI” instead of “Import anatomy”. Delete your protocol and start over from tutorial #1. Follow carefully the instructions and make sure at each step you get exactly what is shown in the screen captures.
