Hi Bruce! Thank you very much for your response!
The input image I used was .dcm of a Sagital MPR with 62 slices. As for the directions, it is really hard to tell! I have attached a screenshot of an horizontal image.
How do I perform the alternative or manually tailarach?
Thank you very much,

Hi Katica
what format was the input image to recon-all? Can you verify that tkmedit has the directions correct (that is what it labels as anterior is actually anatomically anterior, etc...). If so, then the talairach just failed and you will need to either try an alternative (like the MNI or SPM talairachs) or generate it manually.
cheers Bruce

Happy New Year freesuerfers! I run into this error while doing recon-all :
ERROR: talairach_afd: Talairach Transform: transforms/talairach.xfm ***FAILED*** (p=0.0000, pval=0.0000 < threshold=0.0050) Manual Talairach alignment may be necessary, or include the -notal-check flag to skip this test, making sure the -notal-check flag follows -all or -autorecon1 in the command string.
I would really appreciate if someone could give me some advice on how to fix this error.
Thank you very much!
