I see. Then I think I'd better just follow the instructions on the Xhemi page. Thanks!

Hi Cherry, what I meant was that you cannot use the qcache with xhemi. You'll need to run the mris_preproc command as listed on the web page.

Thanks, Doug.

I'm not planning to use qdec. It's just that I used to generate the ?h.thickness_max10.fwhm10.fsaverage_510.mgh files (which are what we name the files after running the two commands) before I use mris_preproc and mri_glmfit. I also generally skip the "smooth" step in freesurfer tutorial since the files are smoothed in the first place.

Any suggestions?

Actually, #2 will not work. I don't think you can use qdec with the
xhemi stuff anyway. You should use the mris_preproc command
followed by
mri_glmfit.
