Hi, Bruce,
Thank you so much for your help.
Now my understanding on 'mris_register' is that： 1. I need to construct the 'xx.sphere' for all my inputs; 2. For the 'source.sphere', I also need to provide 'source.curv' and 'source.sulc'. 3. For the 'target.sphere', I need to have a statistical file (i.e. xh.average.curvature.filled.buckner40.tif). If the target is not a template/atlas, I need to create the tif file for that single subject.
Am I right? If so, how can I input all these information? Using the optional arguments?
Thank you again.
Best, Xiaojing

Hi Xiaojing,
the inputs are an individual subject sphere created with mris_sphere, and statistics in an atlas coordinate system, usually stored in a tif file that we supply.
cheers, Bruce

Hi, all,
I am new to FreeSurfer world. I am trying to do the surface-based registration using FreeSurfer. I found a tool called mris_register, which is defined as a command registering a surface to an average surface template(or another single-subject's surface). But I don't understand how to use this command.
Are the inputs often xx.sphere? I have two wm surfaces 'subj1.smoothwm' and 'subj2.smoothwm' and I want to align them. Can I use mris_register to do that? What information or parameterization are required by mris_register? Since when I run this command, I get errors saying that: "reading template parameterization from target.smoothwm HIPS unsupported No such file or directory"
I don't understand what this error means. Could anyone help me? Thank you so much.
Best, Xiaojing
