Dear Freesurfers,

I just read this paper about freesurfer version and operating system matters: Gronenschild EHBM, Habets P, Jacobs HIL, Mengelers R, Rozendaal N, et al. (2012) The Effects of FreeSurfer Version, Workstation Type, and Macintosh Operating System Version on Anatomical Volume and Cortical Thickness Measurements. PLoS ONE 7(6): e38234. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0038234 http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038234

I am running freesurfer on linux system, and installed both version 4.5 and 5.1, and currently using 5.1. So which version is most recommended? should I use other versions like 5.0 or the coming 5.2? Any suggestion is appreciated

Hi Thomas

I guess that's ok, as long as you are consistent. Bruce On Fri, 26 Oct 2012, Thomas Fink wrote:

Dear Freesurfers,

I know that differences in FS versions and operating systems can lead to different results.

Thus my question: Would it be possible/advisable to run different steps of the RecommendedRecontruction on different operating systems? I would like to do talairach and control points for all my healthy

subjects

on a Linux based computer (Suse) and then switch to a Mac (OS X Mountain Lion) for further steps and use 5.1 on both machines.

Thank you very much for your time. Thomas
