Hi Angela,
Use mris_euler_number on the pial surface, but the probability that there will be any defect is indeed relatively low. Have you carefully checked your white and pial surface slice by slice overlaid on the T1? Sometimes a small region where the surfaces are "wrinkled" is responsible for this error. If this is the case, edit the wm and rerun autorecon2-wm and autorecon3. If this is not the case, i.e. if you don't see anything to edit in the wm, then the best solution is to rerun autorecon2-wm and autorecon3 with the randomness flag. That should solve the issue.
As for your second question, if this is the same subject than the one you got the error, the solution above should solve it. If not, I would advise reprocessing it.
Hope it helps,
Marie

Hi all, I am running lgi analyses in 5.3 FS version (lion OSX)
one of my subjects failed with a typical message:
lGI for vertex number 39901 of the outer mesh is 1.8067 ... remeasuring lGI value for vertex iV = 40001. It may take a few minutes. WARNING -- Problem for vertex iV = 40001, lGI value is aberrantly high (lGI=42.8793)... ...lGI computation will be stopped. This may be caused by topological defects, check mris_euler_number on the pial surface.
Before running again the command mris_compute_lgi I want to check for the presence of topological defects
I have some questions:
- which is the command line for the command mris_euler_number or - better
- which are the surface files to control for? (lh.orig, lh.pial, lh.white,
etc...)
- I have performed the command check_subject and in all my subjects
appear this message:
[host-001:~/Desktop/risonanze/studyfree] angelafavaro% check_subject subj061 CHECKING SUBJECT subj061 WARN: time for rh.white is older than rh.inflated WARN: lh.rh.sphere.reg is empty/missing WARN: time for lh.white is older than lh.inflated
What is the problem (if any)?
Thank you for any help
Angela
