Dear FreeSurfer team,
I'm making a surface based group analysis of 40 multiple sclerosis subjects using FreeSurfer tools.
What are the advantages of building your own fsaverage (make_average_subject) instead of using the premade fsaverage? Would you in general recommend this? What is the pro's and con's of building your own fsaverage?
All the best,
Silas
I searched the mailing stream and found this answer:
'make_average_subject script, but as Doug implies you probably don't need to. Our warp is high-enough dimensional that you rarely need to build average subjects from your own population'
