Dear freesurfer community,
we are conducting cortical-thickness analysis using freesurfer-5.1.0 and
have been experiencing some problems with the automatic recognition of the
control points. For several subjects, we run the recon-all command and
after about 40 hours of computations, we receive the error message
“Excessive topologic defect encountered: could not allocate 171060256 edges
for retessellation
Cannot allocate memory”. After the occurrence of the error message, the
computation is stopped.
Below, we provide the details of our setup and the exact error message for
one subject.
Feel free to ask for more information. Thank you very much for your help!
Yours sincerely,
Annemarie
