Hi Tom
I'll cc Flo who wrote this code (a long time ago!). I think the -brain_atlas flag takes a gca atlas and uses it to avoid large-scale errors, while -atlas uses some built-in statistics about the shape and size of e.g. the cerebellum to avoid erasing it accidentally. Flo can correct me if I'm wrong :)
cheers Bruce

Apologies if this becomes a double post -
Hi all,
I noticed that during skull stripping the standard recon-all pipeline uses option "-brain_atlas" in the routine "mri_watershed". However documentation of this argument cannot be found in the help section or on the website.
mri_watershed --help | less -p atlas https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mri_watershed?highlight=(atlas)
Is this an undocumented flag or simply a synonym for "-atlas"? Does the "-brain_atlas" flag take an extra argument to specify the atlas?
Thanks, Tom
