Dear  Bruce,

In fact, when I run:

tkmedit subject2 brainmask.mgz lh.orig lh.white -aux wm.mgz -aux-surface rh.orig rh.white

it gave me an error saying that tkmedit does not recognize lh.orig but the green line pops up and the orig surface button is now active. Why I still get the error message I don't know.

I want to ask one more favour:

1).Can you please briefly describe the difference between the following files: orig.mgz    brain.mgz    brainmask.mgz    T1.mgz

2) What is the difference between wm.mgz and filled.mgz

3) What represents the nu.mgz?

Thank you.
Antonella

Hi Antonella,

if it's not active then it probably failed loading the orig surface. Can you send us the output of the tkmedit command? There is a multi-view button you can click in tkmedit to show 3 orthogonal views at the same time.

cheers
Bruce
