no, it represent the name of the folder that FS will create to put the results of the analysis in. The -i should be the full path to one file in the correct (T1-weighted) dicom series

sorry, I didn't realize I hadn't replied to the whole list :-)
so this   

recon-all -i <name of one slice in the right dicom series> -s <subject id>
-all

is the command for the whole pipeline if I understand correctly.... does
<subject id> represents the folder where the dcm files are?

sorry for bothering again..

      can you cc the list on these emails? Your command line should
      be:

      recon-all -i <name of one slice in the right dicom series> -s
      <subject id> -all

      cheers

                  Hi Pietro

                  what was your recon-all command line? You need
            to specify
                  different subject identifiers (-s <subject
            identifier>) for the
                  different datasets

                  Hi Freesurfers,
                  I have another quintessentially beginner's
            problem....

                  I ran 5 scans through the entire pipeline
            (-autorecon1
                  -autorecon2 and
                  -autorecon2 -autorecon-3)

                  when I check the output going

                  tksurfer [name_of_folder_with_dcm_files] rh
            (or lh)
                  inflated

                  and then

                 
            tkmedit [name_of_folder_with_dcm_files] norm.mgz
                  -segmentation aseg.mgz
                  $FREESURFER_HOME/FreeSurferColorLUT.txt

                  the scans look all the same....it is like the
            last scan I
                  processed was
                  overwritten on the previous ones....does it
            make sense?

                  thank you very much,

                  Pietro
