Thanks bruce. That's

Line 1 recon-all -all -i T2 T2pial -s  subjectID -parallel
Line 2  mri_normalize -mprage -norm2-b 20 -aseg aseg.presurf.mgz -mask brainmask.mgz norm.mgz brain.mgz
This is in visual studio code 
 
Cheers, 
Pascal

Hi Pascal

you can put the

mri_normalize -b 20

line in a file, and use it as the expert options in recon-all to rerun autorecon2-cp and autorecon3 with it


cheers

Thanks bruce. After running mri_normalize -mprage -b 20 -aseg aseg.presurf.mgz -mask brainmask.mgz
norm.mgz brain.mgz, do I need to run recon-all -autorecon2 -autorecon3 again? Cheer.,

      yes, that is the right command line. I don't know if you will need more control points, but
      that helped a lot. -a specifies the intensity threshold above 110 and -g specifies the
      spatial gradient for the 1d normalization

            Hello Bruce, Thank you very much.
            a) The mri_normalization command line is where control points starts
            (normalization2). Right?
            b) Also, is this right command " mri_normalize -mprage -b 20 -aseg
            aseg.presurf.mgz -mask brainmask.mgz
            norm.mgz brain.mgz"?
            c) Do I need any other flag besides -b?
            d) I don't need to make the manual control point edits right? 
            e) Lastly, what does -a (float a) and -g (float g) mean?

                  HI Pascal

                  I got significantly improved results using -b 20 on the mri_normalize
            command line. Note
                  that this has to come after the mprage. I think you can do it with an
            expert options file
                  with:

                  mri_normalize -b 20

                                          I don't think tissue priors will help due to the

                        and
                                    variability of the folding
                                          patterns. There may be other interventions though

                                                      what are you trying to achieve?
            Internally we have
                        multiple
                                    prior maps of
                                                this type, but I
