Hello, 

I have made sure the electrode points are onto the cuff electrode layer of the mesh (ev8pro.pts). But I am still getting the error in Buildleadfield. I am running the ntwork in SCIRun 4.7 version (windows 64x). 

 

Can you please tell me if I am making any mistakes while running the network? I am giving the options in the module as follows.

Thank you so much

Hello Brett,
Thank you for the response. Yes, I wrote a matlab code which took care of the negative Jacobian. Now the only concern was the nodes projecting onto the surface. Basically I am trying to have 8 nodes around the center of the cuff electrode (a tripolar cuff electrode).
I shall try projecting the nodes onto the surface and get back to you.
Thank you again. :)

Purbasha,

I ran your network and found two things that are concerning.  One you may need to double check on your system to make sure that the files that you sent transferred correctly.

1 - The BuildFEMatrix module indicates that your mesh has negative Jacobians.  If this is truly the case, the module cannot function as it was written to do and your assigned conductivities within the space will not be correct.  You can check to see if you have any negative Jacobians by using the GetMeshQualityField module and selecting Jacobian in the UI options.  Attach a ReportFieldInfo to this and look at you min/max values.  You should have nothing less than 0.  You might be able to fix this with the CleanUpTetMesh module, though when I just tried, it did not remove all negative tets.

2 - The nodes that you sent are not actually within the volume.  The appear to not even touch the volume, therefore, any potential value that you apply to these electrodes will not be able to influence the axon.  I've attached a picture below (green orbs are your electrode sites blue are projections of the electrodes onto the mesh nodes).  These nodes are (as the error message suggests) out of range.  Try to project the nodes to the surface.  You can try using the ProjectPointsOntoMesh module to see if that works once you have confirmed that your mesh has no negative jacobians.

Hope that helps,

Hello, 

I am getting an error when I am running LeadField module. The error says,"Mesh out of Range". I am using the following .srn file to generate leadfield. I am attaching the mesh I am using as well as the error message. 

Your help will be really appreciated. 

Thank you 

Regards
