Dear experts,
I am currently starting longitudinal analysis of data I previously corrected in cross-sectional stream (FreeSurfer v5.3).
The analysis comprises quite large number of subjects - approx 150 subjects, each scanned twice.
All subjects are already inspected and errors corrected in cross-sectional analysis. Some of them needed quite large edits, mainly to the wm.mgz and the whole process took large time.
As I read the documentation, the wm.mgz edits in cross are not currently transferred to base. However, wm.mgz has to be correct in base in order to estimate surfaces correctly. From this it implies to me that I would need to edit all wm.mgz errors in base again.
Do you think that it could be possible/reasonable to transfer some wm.mgz edits from cross to base, for example to make intersection of edits of all cross timepoints and to transfer it to the base? This could significantly reduce time spent on edits. Does it make sense?
Regards,
Antonin Skoch
