Hi there,
I am trying to use and averaged subject instead of fsaverage for QDEC. I used make_average_subject to create the new template, which created a folder called avgsubject.
Then i ran recon-all -s SUBJECTID -qcache -target avgsubject (on all subjects)
In QDEC, in "Common-Space Subject" i typed the new averaged subject folder. But when trying to run analyses, i get an error message:

Error in Analyze: Couldn't open file /usr/local/FS5/subjects/FS080920cr/surf/lh.thickness.fwhm10.avgsubject.mgh (where"avgsubject" was the output name of the averaged subject template).
Indeed, there are only *h.*.fwhm*.fsaverage.mgh in my subject folders (presumably from the previous preproc), but no new ones with 'avgsubject'.

What am i doing wrong?

thanks
ilana
