 Did it create the talairach.xfm file?


 Tracy Wang wrote:Hi Doug,

<excerpt> thanks for answering so quickly. Actually i ran recon-all
-subjid 000112_vc1552_test -autorecon1 which i think would include the
initial talairaching stage correct?


 the talairach tranform seemed problematic both when viewed in tkmedit
and the final objective funtion value in the mritotal.log (ours was
0.15870732).


 does this mean that the talairaching failed at some place? How can i
tell because mritotal seems to run to completion?


 Thanks again,

 Tracy

 1. It seems to look for a talairach directory in the main subject
directory. Does this mean I have to make/modify this directory each
time i want the tkregister2 to manually correct the talairach
transform?

 It means that you did not run the initial talairaching stage (eg,
recon-all -talairach). If you don't want to run this first, you can
run tkregister2 with --regheader (but be careful to run subsequent
calls to recon-all with -notalairach to keep from overwriting). Also
note that you can get help with tkregister2 --help
