as long as you move the file into the tmp dir recon-all should find it and use it (search for control.dat in the recon-all.log after you have run it).
I'm not sure what's going on with your brainmask.mgz though. You are saying that there are voxels that are deleted (set to 1) in your brainmask.mgz, but still show up inside the surfaces? Are they 0 in the brain.finalsurfs.mgz? The brain.mgz?

Yes, the pial (and white, actually) surface is extending into an area where there is no brain tissue. I'm not sure the anatomical name for it, but it's two cavities, one in the lower half of either hemisphere, where there's no tissue at all. When I process the dicom files I get really erratic surfaces drawn in those areas.
Also, how should I be saving my control points to get them in the tmp folder? I can manually move them there, but I assume it should be done automatically.
Thanks, Champe

why are you deleting voxels from the brainmask.mgz? That is only used for masking out non-brain tissue. Is that what you are trying to do?

I used the recon editing tool—I explicitly followed the instructions from the tutorial (even on reprocessing the tutorial data it didn't work), so I had the brainmask.mgz highlighted, checked the recon editing box and held shift and clicked to remove the necessary voxels (they turned black). I removed them on all the necessary slices as well.

Hi Champe
it must be in the tmp subdirectory (that is <subject name>/tmp/control.dat) otherwise we will not find it.
As for the deleted voxel issue - how did you delete them?

I created them as instructed in the tutorial and called the file “control.dat” so there’s a control.dat file in my subjects directory. Should I have named it tmp/control.dat? Also, would resolving the control points issue also resolve the deleted voxels issue? Cause my it’s not redrawing the pial surface either.
Thanks Champe

Everything in FreeSurfer works fine for me—I ran recon-all and successfully processed dicom files, I successfully viewed the T1.mgz and brainmask.mgz volumes and the pial and white surfaces, and I successfully deleted unnecessary voxels and added a set of control points (in both cases, being careful to make and save the changes on all necessary slices with the brainmask volume highlighted). My only issue is that when I reprocess the data using recon-all -autorecon2-cp -autorecon3 -subjid <my subject ID>, it runs through the reconstruction without error and then shows no changes at all in freeview when I view the volumes/surfaces. The deleted voxels still appear deleted and I can still load the control points, so why wouldn’t it make the changes? And just to provide a little extra info: I encounter the same problem when I reprocess the tutorial data for the pial edits tutorial. I delete the voxels as instructed, save the file, reprocess it without error, and then nothing’s changed when I view it all again in freeview. Any help would be HUGELY appreciated—I’ve stressed over this for weeks trying to get my computer to function properly so that I can begin my work as a research assistant in a neuropsych lab editing and analyzing brain scans with FreeSurfer.
