Arbitrary Atlas for Freesurfer Volumertic Analysis

1

Hi everyone,

Freesurfer uses DKT atlas for volumetric analysis by default.
Brainnetome is our favorite one, is there a way to use that?

Best,
Majid

Actually I never used these tools but I recently heard about the Brainnetome atlas from a colleague and remembered seeing this document when I read your question.

I tried to reproduce your error and got stuck at the same point with the same error message. Then I understood: If you copy paste the command lines from the PDF, beware of the character ‘-’ ! The ‘-’ you paste from the PDF is not the same than the ‘-’ you type in your terminal. You have to replace them and then it works.

Thank you so much JSein,
I used “mapping_to_subjects.sh” commands and that worked.
Maybe it is necessary to set “SUBJECTS_DIR” first.
