Hello,
I am having a problem with the mri_ca_normalize step in autorecon2.
When I run autorecon2 (in the dev version: recon-all-nmr -subjid avm004
-autorecon2 -nosubcortseg -hemi lh), it gives me a message that norm.mgz
is missing, and it seems that the files are not being created (either in
the <subjid>/mri /norm folder or in norm.mgz format). I tried running
mri_ca_normalize alone with the following command:
"mri_ca_normalize -mask avm004/mri/brain.mgz avm004/mri/nu.mgz
${FREESURFER_HOME}/average/RB40_talairach_2005-07-20.gca
avm004/mri/transforms/talairach.xfm avm004/mri/norm.mgz"
and I get the following output, still with no norm.mgz or norm files:
reading atlas from
'/usr/local/freesurfer/dev/average/RB40_talairach_2005-07-20.gca'...
setting gca type = Normal gca type

Is there some way to get the normalize step to run during autorecon2?
Thanks for your help,
