Hi Ankita

Glad it worked :) How many cores do you have? If only 1 there is nothing to be gained by running them in parallel. If more than 1 I think you should be able to fit at least two in that much ram, but perhaps someone else can comment? Maybe 3?

Cheers

Thank you for your help! The process took 22 hours, but it completed without errors! Now I will start looking at the output to analyze.

I was wondering if it is possible to run 3-4 of the freesurfer processes like recon-all simultaneously? I will be running these on a Mac with 8 Ghz of Memory and a 2.66 GHz processor - is that sufficient hardware capability to run several simultaneous processes?

Thanks again!

nope, keep waiting. Depending on your hardware and how different the
anatomy is from normal it can take up to a day.

as for LGI, check recon-all -help
