I am new to FreeSurfer - I am a high school sophomore trying to learn more about processing brain MRI's. I have read through most of the documentation, but I was not sure about the workflow for processing an MRI. I am trying to extract just surfaces and was wondering if I can run "recon-all -autorecon2 -pial..." without running "recon-all -all...". Basically, I'm trying to see if I need to run the "recon-all -all..." step before running any of the sub-processes. I would greatly appreciate any advice I could get on this, thanks.

Thanks,

Riya C
