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? 
Cheers, 
Pascal

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


cheers
Bruce

      tar and gzip an example subject directory and send us the voxel coords of points you want us
      to look at

                  I don't think tissue priors will help due to the complexity and
            variability of the folding
                  patterns. There may be other interventions though - can you send us some
            examples of where
                  things don't look accurate to you?

                  cheers

                        Hello Bruce, Thanks for replying. I am trying find ways to improve
            white matter
                        surface (to reduce
                        manual intervention by control points) with the probability map.
            Also, how do I
                        extract the multiple
                        prior maps you mentioned. Thank you. 
                        Best,

                              what are you trying to achieve? Internally we have multiple
            prior maps of
                        this type, but I
                              don't think we are setup for a user to supply a different one

            probability maps
                        of  tissue
                                    segmentation as prior?
