Hi all,

I noticed that during skull stripping the standard recon-all pipeline uses option "-brain_atlas" in the routine "mri_watershed". However documentation of this argument cannot be found in the help section or on the website.

mri_watershed --help | less -p atlas https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mri_watershed?highlight=(atlas)

Is this an undocumented flag or simply a synonym for "-atlas". Does the "-brain_atlas" flag take an extra argument to specify the atlas?

Thanks, Tom
