I don't understand what you did or what the problem is. Can you elaborate?

Hi there

I tested registering a subject's pial surface to fsaverage and compared the original pial (from recon-all) with this registered pial surface. It turns out that they are almost identical in nature, and I am wondering how this is possible if recon-all does not alter the input data. 

Below is the command that I ran. Is there something I am missing here?

many thanks

Trisanna
