Hi Kathryn - The -stat option was added in the latest tracula update, see here: http://freesurfer.net/fswiki/Tracula/#Updates
You need to download this update, after installing freesurfer 5.3, to be able to do what is described in the tutorials.

Hello, I am trying to examine FA along the trajectory of the white matter tract, as described in the wiki: http://freesurfer.net/fswiki/FsTutorial/TraculaStatistics (half way down the page).
I am using the FreeSurfer version 3.0.
The wiki says:
The pathstats.byvoxel.txt files will generally not contain the same number of positions (rows) for each subject because the tracts are reconstructed in each subject's native diffusion space and not in a template space. Thus they are not ready for performing group analyses yet. To combine these files from multiple subjects, interpolating the anisotropy and diffusivity values at corresponding positions along the tract for all subjects, run the following:
trac-all -stat -c $TUTORIAL_DATA/diffusion_tutorial/dmrirc.tutorial
However, when I try to use the -stat option, it says it is not recognized. There is no -stat option described in the help, either.
Am I using the wrong version, or do I need to upload something differently?
Thanks very much,
Katie
