FreeSurfer

FreeSurfer is a neuroimaging software package that is primarily used for processing and analysis of T1 weighted MRI. FreeSurfer is a great tool for surface-based morphometry, hippocampal and amygdala segmentations, and longitudinal analysis using linear mixed effects modelling.

The following documentation will outline FreeSurfer’s pre-processing steps, and general guidelines to analysis.


Before running anything on FreeSurfer on Artemis, you must:

  1. load the module. e.g.

module load freesurfer/7.0.1

2. Identify the directory in which your subject folders (in FreeSurfer format) are located

e.g. If your subjects are located in a structure that looks like this:

-scratch

-Project

-FreeSurferSubjectFolder

-subject_1

-subject_2

-subject_3

export SUBJECTS_DIR=/scratch/project/FreeSurferSubjectFolder
