fsaverage should not be empty. Maybe it is a link to an empty folder? It should point to $FREESURFER/subjects/fsaverage. You should not mix the streams in this way (insert Ghost Busters joke here)

Dr. Greve,

I don't believe that file exists--fsaverage folder was empty. We re-ran these files through v7.2.1 while seeking solutions. Is it going to produce tenable findings if we run Freesurfer v7.2.1 cross-sectional data through Freesurfer's v6.0's longitudinal stream? 

Best,
Andrew

Dr. Greve, 

 

I hope this email finds you well. Thank you for your response to my listed question on Freesurfer’s mailing list on Sunday! I wanted to reach out to followup re: longitudinal stream error. 

The main error I receive with the base code is as follows: 

 

SUBJECTS_DIR    /PHShome/asw39/subjects
FREESURFER_HOME /PHShome/asw39/freesurfer

We got this error after we used Freesurfer v6.0 to process the data cross-sectionally and then run the base template. Do you know whether it is possible for v7.0 cross-sectional output to be run through v6.0 longitudinal stream (as v6.0 is the most recent longitudinal stream version)?

Thanks,

Andee Sunday Willett, M.S.
