Hi FreeSurfers,
I ran the longitudinal processing pipeline on my subjects, FS 5.0. Following the tutorial, first independently, then base, then long etc. Everything works well, no problems there.
Out of curiosity I compared the asegstats & aparcstats within subject at baseline (i.e. The same timepoint): so the independent fsid vs the same_fsid.long.same_fsid_template, and there are (large) differences between all volumes/thicknesses. The independent measures are in almost all brain areas larger compared to those derived from the longi-stream. Except for the IC, which is completely the same, but of course, this measure is based on the Buckner method and calculated differently.
Overall this seems a bit strange to me, because I believe there shouldn't be differences within subject on the same time-point. Is this the result of the within-subject template use for the longitudinal data or is something else going wrong, or is this normal?
Many thanks!
Cheers, Cédric
