Dear Bruce,

Thank you so much for being so patient with me!

I found them!!!!

Sincerely,
Ye

Hi Ye

there's no way a 5 minute mprage would have only 3 slices. Or any mprage really, since they are always 3D. You need to find the rest of the slices (there are probably more than 128 of them)

Dear Bruce and Greve,
Thank you very much. But I only have 3 images of MPRAGE though. 

recon-all -s subject_directory -i /Path_to_MPRAGE finishes without error,
but gives two warnings of "input volume axes are not orthogonal" 

recon-all -s subject_directory -autorecon1 exists "with ERRORS" almost
immediately. Besides one warning of "only one run found; motion correction
cannot  be performed" and another warning of "input volumes are not
orthogonal", the log file basically just repeats the information of mri_info
MPRAGE.

Is it because I don't have enough images?

Thank you very much!

Sincerely,
Ye

            Dear freesurfers,

            My data seems not to be T1-weighted by look
            (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8ZFGvGvHVc). Would
            you please help me
            further identify by reading the following
            experimental description?

            Images were acquired with blood-oxygen level
            dependent (BOLD) imaging on a 3
            T Siemens Trio Scanner (Bandettini, Wong, Hinks,
            Tikofsky, and Hyde, 1992).
             A five-minute magnetization prepared,
            rapid-acquisition gradient echo image
            (MPRAGE) was acquired for anatomic overlays of
            functional data and spatial
            normalization (T1 MN1 Template).  BOLD imaging used
            a 33-slice whole-brain,
            single-shot gradient echo (GE) echo-planar (EPI)
            sequence (TR/TE = 2000/25
            ms, FOV = 240 mm, matrix = 64 x 64, slice
            thickness/gap = 4/0 mm).  This
            sequence delivers a nominal voxel resolution of 3 x
            3 x 3 mm.  

            Also, if I do mri_info in freesurfer for the five
            sequences of the data,
            Series Number 1:     TR: 8.6msec, TE: 4.00msec, T1:
            -1.00msec, Flip Angle:
            20.00degrees
            Series Number 2:     TR: 2000.00msec, TE: 25.0msec,
            T1: -1.00msec, Flip
            Angle: 90.00degrees
            Series Number 3:     TR: 2300.00msec, TE: 2.96msec;
            T1: 900.00msec, Flip
            Angle: 90.00degrees
            Series Number 4&5: TR: 2000.00msec, TE: 25.00msec;
            T1: -1.00msec, Flipe
            Angle: 90.00degrees

            Is my data NOT T1-weighted for sure?

            Thank you very much!

            Sincerely,
            Ye
