The easiest thing would be to binarize the aparc+aseg like:
mri_binarize --i aparc+aseg.mgz --wm --o whitematter.mgz
You can the resample this to mni305 with:
mri_convert --apply_transform transforms/talairach.xfm whitematter.mgz whitematter.mni305.mgz -oc 0 0 0
Not sure what you want to do now. You can then mri_concat the whitematter.mni305.mgz files from you different subjects into one file, or create a mean.

Hi FreeSurfers,
I was wondering if it is possible to obtain an average wmparc.mgz file for a group of subjects that have been processed through freesurfer? We have 72 cases that have been independently processed through freesurfer, and we would like to generate a representative white-matter "atlas" that could potentially be aligned to some standard space (e.g., MNI). Would this be possible?
If this isn't possible, could we obtain this from fsaverage? I noticed that $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage does have an aparc+aseg.mgz --- is there also a way to get wmparc.mgz (e.g, using mri_aparc2aseg)?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
