Only because I was lazy! You can use surfaces for normalization too. I think the script I gave Matt probably had that in it

Oops i just realized I only sent this to Bruce:

Thanks!  It looks like this involves some manual intervention.  Matt., I assume you're not manually making control points on 1000s of subjects (I imagine this is for the human connectcome project).  Is your code public somewhere?

Cheers,
Michael

sure, here's mine. Matt's is probably a lot more polished as they intend to run it on hundreds or thousands of subjects

Hi Bruce,
Sounds cool, I'd be very interested in checking out the script.

Cheers,

     you need to call mris_make_surfaces directly. It's a bit
     complicated as you need to intensity normalize and register the
     hires volume to the surfaces first. I have an example script if
     anyone is interested, but no one has used it yet but me I don't
     think (unless Matt Glasser has gotten his version working, which
     on second thought he probably has)

           Hi Bruce,
           Is there a flag for this on recon-all?  Or do you
           need to use
           mri_make_surfaces directly?

           Best,

                yes, we already have upgraded
           mris_make_surfaces to take higher
                res data
                and refine the surfaces with it. Haven't tried
           it on the aseg
                yet, but if
                you upload a sample dataset I could see how
           hard it is.
