Unfinished Palm

This was originally going to be an anatomical picture of the hand focusing on tendons and palmar muscles, but I ran out of time before we moved on to the dorsal aspect of the hand. I probably won't ever finish it, so I decided to just share it as a very amateurish artistic contribution.

Making a Brain Template

Image
My last post was on how to obtain a representative sample to create a brain template. This post shows how to create the actual template. This step is fairly straightforward because most of the heavy lifting is already performed by antsMultivariateTemplateContstruction.sh . Here’s the entirety of the script so that you have an idea of how it all looks together. #!/bin/bash #SBATCH --time=75:00:00 #SBATCH --ntasks=1 #SBATCH --nodes=1 #SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=32768M #SBATCH -o /fslhome/username/logfiles/dataset/output_temp.txt #SBATCH -e /fslhome/username/logfiles/dataset/error_temp.txt #SBATCH -J "ucsdtemp" #SBATCH --mail-user=LongbranchPennywhistle@gmail.com #SBATCH --mail-type=BEGIN #SBATCH --mail-type=END #SBATCH --mail-type=FAIL export PBS_NODEFILE=`/fslapps/fslutils/generate_pbs_nodefile` export PBS_JOBID=$SLURM_JOB_ID export PBS_O_WORKDIR="$SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR" export PBS_QUEUE=batch export OMP_NUM_THREADS

Preparing for the MCAT

Several times I’ve been asked for advice on preparing for the MCAT from other premed students. There are a lot of resources out there and it’s really hard to filter through what will work best. To make matters more difficult, everyone has different needs when preparing for the MCAT. This means it’s not as clear as getting the best (most expensive) resources. In other words, there is no list somewhere that will tell you exactly what to do. That’s why I think it may be best if I start by giving you a little background on how I learn and what worked best for me and then review the resources I used. Like most premed students, I typically got A’s (with the exception of a B in one of my religion classes). If I didn’t get an A on a test I would review  what I got wrong until I could take a variation on the same material to get an A. In doing so I would identify why I got a question wrong (Did I not know a specific topic or interpret the question/answers incorrectly?). While I did work o

Brain Segmentation

Image
Once you have a brain template for your population and it has the proper priors you’re ready to actually get to work on the entire population. You’ll be able to get cortical thickness, segmentation, and warp images from what follows (and much more). Here’s the script I use… #!/bin/bash #SBATCH --time=20:00:00 #SBATCH --ntasks=1 #SBATCH --nodes=1 #SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=8192M #SBATCH -o /fslhome/ShDynasty/logfiles/dataset/output_antsCT_0.txt #SBATCH -e /fslhome/ShDynasty/logfiles/dataset/error_antsCT_0.txt #SBATCH -J "antsCT_0" #SBATCH --mail-user=ShDynasty@gmail.com #SBATCH --mail-type=BEGIN #SBATCH --mail-type=END #SBATCH --mail-type=FAIL export PBS_NODEFILE=`/fslapps/fslutils/generate_pbs_nodefile` export PBS_JOBID=$SLURM_JOB_ID export PBS_O_WORKDIR="$SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR" export PBS_QUEUE=batch export OMP_NUM_THREADS=$SLURM_CPUS_ON_NODE export ANTSPATH=/fslhome/ShDynasty/bin/antsbin/bin/ PATH=${ANTSPATH}:
