Hi, The new version of recon-all certainly sounds exciting. Any dates for Linux release planned? I'm looking at starting processing on a large set of images and wouldn't want to begin and then re-do some of the processing because a superior method came out. Regards, Alex

Hi Ray, you shouldn't compare across datasets that use the subcortical segmentation (aseg) and those that don't. The aseg fills the entire ventricle, and thus changes the effective folding pattern on the medial wall, requiring a different atlas and parcellation targets. The advantage is that it is quite a bit more robust and fully automated in 90-95% of the cases we've tested (including elderly and AD), plus you get the whole subcortical segmentation for either structural or functional analysis. cheers, Bruce p.s. the subcortical does take a long (>15 hours) time, but reduces person time as most datasets go through without any manual fixing.
