Dear Freesurferexperts,

I still have the Problem because I can not run the the mris-command to estimate the gyrification-index, because Freesurfer is not recognizing Matlab: "ERROR: Matlab is required to run mris_compute_lgi"

Im not sure why this is happening? Does someone have an idea???

Im starting Freesurfer as follows:

FREESURFER_HOME=/Users/dhirjak/freesurfer

source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh

(than I get the following output)

Dusan-Hirjaks-MacBook-Pro:~ dhirjak$ source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh

-------- freesurfer-Darwin-snowleopard-i686-stable-pub-v5.3.0 --------

Setting up environment for FreeSurfer/FS-FAST (and FSL)

FREESURFER_HOME /Users/dhirjak/freesurfer

FSFAST_HOME /Users/dhirjak/freesurfer/fsfast

FSF_OUTPUT_FORMAT nii.gz

SUBJECTS_DIR /Users/dhirjak/MRI/Freesurfer_2

MNI_DIR /Users/dhirjak/freesurfer/mni

FSL_DIR /Users/dhirjak/fsl

export SUBJECTS_DIR=/Users/dhirjak/MRI/Freesurfer

In have the following lines in my matlab startup-file:

fshome = getenv('FREESURFER_HOME');

fsmatlab = sprintf('%s/matlab',fshome);

if (exist(fsmatlab) == 7)

path(path,fsmatlab);

end

clear fshome fsmatlab;

fsfasthome = getenv('FSFAST_HOME');

fsfasttoolbox = sprintf('%s/toolbox',fsfasthome);

if (exist(fsfasttoolbox) == 7)

path(path,fsfasttoolbox);

end

clear fsfasthome fsfasttoolbox;

Thanks!!!
