Hi Anastasia!

The command in the recon-all.log is this one:

mri_label2label --srcsubject fsaverage --srclabel /home/user/visao/Freesurfer/fsaverage/label/rh.BA1.label --trgsubject SUSANAFERREIRA --trglabel ./rh.BA1.label --hemi rh --regmethod surface

And I tried substituing BAxxx.label by BAxxx.thresh.label like this:

mri_label2label --srcsubject fsaverage --srclabel /home/user/visao/Freesurfer/fsaverage/label/lh.BA1.threshold.label --trgsubject SUSANAFERREIRA --trglabel ./lh.BA1.thresolh.label --hemi lh --regmethod surface

gave an error :

SUBJECTS_DIR    /home/user/visao/Freesurfer/
FREESURFER_HOME /usr/local/freesurfer
Loading source label.
No such file or directory
mri_label2label: could not open label file /home/user/visao/Freesurfer/fsaverage/label/lh.BA1.threshold.label
Illegal seek
ERROR reading /home/user/visao/Freesurfer/fsaverage/label/lh.BA1.threshold.label

Thus, I substitued only in the second BAxxx.label and it worked. I thought that was it, but then the values were the same. I'm sorry, I'm not sure what is missing.

Thank you!

Andreia
