Hi FreeSurfer,

The FreeSurfer atlas includes 5 corpus callosum regions. I am trying to create ROIs of those 5 regions and transfer them to FSL in .nii format to be used in DTI analyses. However, I have been unable to figure out how to put these ROIs in MNI152 space and transfer them to FSL. It was recommended that I run recon-all on the MNI template. Here is my code:

recon-all -s John1 -i MNI152_T1_2mm_brain.nii -all -qcache -3T


However when I try to run recon-all, I get the below message. Do you know why recon-all is not working (note: I tried this is 6.0 and 7.2)? And do you know how I can get FreeSurfer CC ROIS into MNI152 space and then convert them to FSL .nii files?
