Analyses were performed using the High Performance Computing (HPC) system (Spartan) operated by Research Computing Services at The University of Melbourne:
Lev Lafayette, Greg Sauter, Linh Vu, Bernard Meade, "Spartan Performance and Flexibility: An HPC-Cloud Chimera", OpenStack Summit, Barcelona, October 27, 2016. doi.org/10.4225/49/58ead90dceaaa
This bash script creates SLURM submission scripts for each subject. After per-subject scripts are created, they are ready to submit via sbatch.
Usage: bash LGS_PET_PP.sh
The analysis makes use of MNI 6th-generation symmetric T1-weighted brain templates. These templates are included in this repository (see .nii.gz images in the sub-folder named MNI_152_6THGEN_SYMMETRIC) and were obtained from here: http://nist.mni.mcgill.ca/mni-icbm152-non-linear-6th-generation-symmetric-average-brain-stereotaxic-registration-model/
A .txt file contaning subject IDs is also required and is included here (SUBJECTS_GROUPS_HEMFLIP.txt).
