Hi Cathy,
no, I don't think so. You'll need to rerun the qcache stuff if you are using qdec to map the thickness and whatever else into the new common space, but I don't think you need to rerun autorecon3 Bruce On Thu, 5 Nov 2009, Cathy Scanlon wrote:
Hi,
I have a question regarding group analysis using a custom template.
I have created a custom template using mris_make_template as described http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/SurfaceRegAndTemplates
I then registered all my study subjects (that have previously been run through recon-all) to this new template using mris_register and named the spherical registration ?h.sphere.reg for each subject.
I want to conduct a group analysis of cortical thickness. So my question is do I need to rerun autorecon3 or any subset of it (e.g. ?h.avg_curv) that might affect my analysis or creation of the 'average subject'?
All the best, Cathy
