BCBToolkit Questions

Dear Annibale,

By configuration I mean what type of computer (e.g. apple MacBook Pro M1)
By directory I mean the name of the folder where BCBtookit is in and the folder before that and all folder before that until you can’t name it :slight_smile: (e.g. /Applications/BCBToolKitOSX)

cheers

Dear Mich,
Thank you very much for your prompt reply, and please excuse my lack of knowledge—I am approaching this field from a background quite distant from computer science (as you have surely noticed :smile:). Indeed, it is an Apple M1 Pro! Please find below the file path:

Many thanks again for your help and availability!

Hi Mich, I am studying my bachelors on psychological sciences and I’ve started to learn about lesion mapping. That’s why I wanted to learn how to use the bcbtoolkit. What would you reccomend to an absolute beginner? Are there any tutorials explaining how to work on it?

Thank you,
Sude

It’s pretty much self explanatory in the useguide http://www.bcblab.com. Although we’ve been having some compatibility issues on the new macs. let me know. mich

Hi Annibale,

Sorry did you manage to fix your issue?
cheers

Dear BCB-team,

We’re conducting a study trying to create disconnectome maps to correlate with a behavioral outcome. In a previous post (BCBToolkit Questions - #11 by BCB_LAB), I read that when the number of participants is higher than 50, it was suggested to use FSL’s Randomise instead of Anacom2. We’ve merged the individual disconnectome maps with FSL merge and then used the resulting 4D-NIFTI file as a dependent variable in the Randomise GLM. Does this seem reasonable and is this the correct way of using Randomise in this instance? Just wanting to make sure that we are doing it correctly.

Also, are there any quality assessments recommended for the BCB-disconnectome output?

Kind regards,

Carl

Dear BCBToolkit Maintainers,

I’m experiencing the same issue with disconnection maps that was mentioned in previous posts. When I try running the disconnection maps using the lesion provided in the package, the software runs for about 2 seconds and then stops, leaving an empty log folder. My operation system is Ubuntu20.04. How should I do to solve this issue?

I am looking forward to your reply!

Kind regards,
Candy

Hi Candy,

Do you have any message in the terminal? Is there no pop-up window when it “finishes” with messages?

The BCBToolkit folder does not contain any space or special characters?

Best,
Chris

Dear Dr Foulon,

Thank you very much for your response. After I changed the output directory so that it is no longer the same as the lesion folder, the software runs normally. It’s great to see it working now. Many thanks again for your help.

Best regards,
Candy
