Hello Bruce,
Sorry! The first email was too big and the mailing list rejected me. My image was already in Jpeg though.
Sincerely, Ye

Hi Ye,
can you cc the list so that others can help you? 787 would usually be too many files for an anatomical. Something on the order of 170-256 is more typical. If you visualize them the white matter should be bright, the gray matter darker and the CSF very dark

Dear Bruce,
I just confirmed a few hours ago that I indeed have structural MRI data though. I have attached an example of the last 787 files from my data below. In fact, I tried to use only those to reconstruct my volumes and surfaces.
Do they serve as inputs to freesurfer?
Thank you very much!
Sincerely, Ye

In order to make sure that my problem does not come from further upstream, I am including the major steps that I took to get to this error. MAJOR STEPS STEP0: My inherited data has names BARBA50527.MR.MEDITATE_**MEDITATION.#.#.year.month.day.**#.#.#.#.#.IMA where each # is a string of numbers.
STEP1: The images can be grouped into five categories, according to the numbers in the names that occupy the positions of the red #: 1.1-1.3, 2.1, 3.1-3.160, 4.1-4.439, 5.1-5.439 [1] Note: Images from groups 4 & 5 are very different from the images of groups 1, 2 and 3. A link to a youtube video of all the images can be seen in note[1]. STEP2: recon-all -s Barba50527_2 -i /Path_to_data/BARBA50527.MR.**MEDITATE_MEDITATION.4.1.2010.**07.27.10.52.51

STEP3: recon-all -s Barba50527_2 -autorecon1 Exits with the error message at the beginning of the email. The number 439 seems to come from the number of files in each group.

I will do it for 001.mgz and 002.mgz and will let you know how it goes. QUESTIONS 1. Do I really need to manually parse the sequence of images? If so, how? 2. I don't really need to mri_convert my files into other formats, e.g., .dcm, do I? 3. Each file from groups 4 and 5 have multiple images. Do I need to cut them into sub-images, each with one brain? Thank you very much!
