You might want to create a template from these datasets for any group analysis you might be doing but just for running recon-all, you don't need to.
It's not necessary to separate them in age ranges to create an average.

Dear FreeSurfer experts,

I'm starting to recon-all the MPRAGE volumes of a large sample of 6-14 year
olds
So far I haven't had any errors (only 15 subjects runned so far)

My questions are:
- Should I make a template from the subjects of my whole sample, considering
their age range?
- Or FreeSurfer template would work just fine with this sample?

If I should make a average from my whole sample, should I make it separating
the sample in age ranges?

Any suggestions are welcome

Thank you!!
