Hi Elijah,
if you have minimal edits, I'd recommend to reprocess the data from scratch with 5.3 (that is supposed to be the same as using the -clean flag when rerunning 5.3 on top of the old 5.0 data). But I'd recommend to create a new subjectsdir, copy over the subjedid/mri/orig dirs for each subject and rerun from scratch with 5.3 the independent, base and long runs.
Best, Martin

Greetings Freesurfer Community,
I am running a longitudinal study using Freesurfer v.5.3 to compare rate of cortical thinning between 2 groups of subjects. I hope I can seek some expert advice on the following situation:
All data (both the baseline and follow-up) has been processed independently using recon-all. This has been done on Freesurfer 5.0.
Since then, I have upgraded to Freesurfer v5.3 to utilize the linear mixed effect capability.
For the construction of base and longs, I understand that it is important to add -clean flag to my recon-all strings to overwrite brainmask.mgz etc. When must this be done?
I am still new to Freesurer, and I'd greatly appreciate any advice regarding workflow.
Many Thanks,
Elijah
