To Whom it may concern, 


I have tried to run the recon-all pipeline on some T1 data and have encountered the following error:


nifti1Read(): unsupported slice timing pattern 5 


I have browsed the previous threads about it and it appears that it should have been fixed in version 5.3 but that is the version I run and the error is still there. 

The data has been converted to NIFTI from DICOM using MRIcron and I don't have access to the original DICOMs. 

I have seen that someone posted a modified version of nifti1Read() in the past and I was wondering if it was still available. 

I am running Freesurfer 5.3.0 on MacOSX El Capitan 10.11.3.

Would you have any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thank you very much.

Yours faithfully,
