Thanks for taking another look at our data.
I have uploaded another subject in the archive dsemanek2.zip . For this subject I have:
1) run the cross processing stream on both timepoints 2) created the base 3) edited the wm.mgz on the base 4) rerun –base –autorecon2-wm –autorecon3 5) run the long stream to create the long folders for the two time points
It doesn’t look like the white matter edits were factored into any of the surfaces at any point in the process. NB: some edits have been exaggerated over protocol for the purpose of testing the software.
These folders were processed on OSX 10.11. I am running the same subject on Linux and I will let you know if I get a qualitatively different outcome.

Hi David,
That is interesting. Sorry to ask you to upload data again, but if you could upload this subject (with only base wm.mgz edits), I could try to replicate this and see why no wm changes are showing up in the longs.
best,
Andrew

Andrew, thanks for your response. I am still not seeing the white matter edit performance that I am expecting, or that I have seen from using the cross stream on 5.3 in the past with a different dataset.
I started with a new subject with two timepoints. I ran recon-all on both for the cross stream with no edits, and then ran the base. I edited the wm.mgz for the base, then ran “recon-all –autorecon2-wm –autorecon3 –base xx_base –tp xx_t1 –tp xx_t2”. I noticed the surfaces didn’t really change in the base, but I went ahead and ran the two long runs using “recon-all –all –long xx_tx xx_base” and although there are minor differences in the base and time point surfaces, the white matter edits I did on the base were largely ignored, and none of them were included in the time point long run wm.mgz files.
I am tempted to try these same analyses using Linux (I am running this on OSX 10.11 currently), as I experienced a completely different response from the surface generation modules to my edits in the past when using Linux. I’m thinking this is a real long shot, but I cannot otherwise figure out why the software would be behaving so differently from my past experiences.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi David
Try editing the base wm.mgz first instead of editing the long and cross wm files. Rerun autorecon2-wm and autorecon3 for the base dir, then completely rerun the longitudinals. The long surfaces are initialized from the base surfaces, so this could be why your wm fixes seem to have no effect.
You can find more info here:
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/LongitudinalEdits#CheatSheethttps://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/LongitudinalEdits
If editing the base doesn't solve the problem, you can send me the commands you ran in order and I can look into this further.
best,
Andrew

Thanks, I have uploaded the cross and long stream processing from one subject which requires numerous white matter edits to correct defects in the white matter surfaces; the file is on the ftp server as dsemanek.zip.
Both of the cross subject folders, s02_t1 and s02_t2 have had edits done to both the brainmask as well as the wm files, and autorecon2-wm and autorecon-3 have been run on them, as well as the long folder for the first time point, s02_t1.long.s02_base.
It was in working with the rerun results of s02_t1.long.s02_base that I noticed the white matter surfaces after being regenerated with the edited wm.mgz did not reflect any of the edits. The easiest way to see this is to load the wm.mgz with the white matter surfaces and scroll through the slices, there are numerous areas where the contours of the white matter surfaces do not follow the voxels of the wm.mgz volume, mostly near what should be identified as hyperintense gray matter. I’m fairly certain the white matter surfaces didn’t change at all after running autorecon2-wm with the wm.mgz edits.
Thanks for taking a look at our data.

Hi David
if you upload a subject to our ftp site and give us enough detail to replicate what you tried we will take a look
