Hi,

after a bit more digging i´ve concluded that the orginal topology fixer (mris_fix_topology) failed because:
mris_euler_number ../surf/lh.orig

gave

(euler number != 2)

therefore it tries:
mris_topo_fixer -mgz -warnings "subjid" lh

which runs for some time and then exits:
ERROR: _FindFacePath: could not find path!

any ideas?

- the scan looks (is) crappy due to movement artifacts, which may well be the cause.

best,

Hi,

using Freesurfer version 4.05 i have a brain that runs through autorecon1 (without errors according to log) but exits with errors during autorecon2. the error given is:
"ERROR: _FindFacePath: could not find path!"

other brains in the same set do not give this error message, therefore i assume it must have something to do with the specific brain.

i´ve attached the log-file.

i realize this is little info, let me know what else you need for diagnosis.

thanks,
