I followed the process of creating a registration template from scratch(GW)(https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/SurfaceRegAndTemplates) to do the surface-based registration. My question are as followed:

1 I want to know if I need to use the mri_cvs_registrater to replace mri_register.

2 I check the result and find it produce the lh.sphere.reg.newtemplate1 and rh.sphere.reg.newtemplate1 in each subjects's surf folder. I want to know how to check the result by using the new file.

3 Should I need to re-run recon-all after the mri_register for every subjects?

Thanks very much for your help!
