Subject: [Freesurfer] longitudinal base template creation with one timepoint

Dear FreeSurfer Experts,

I am interested in how the longitudinal stream creates a base template with only a single image. Could someone please explain how or point me to a reference as to how this is accomplished?

Thank you,
Tracy Melzer
