thanks Dr. Fischl,

Would there be a reason as to why recon-all crashed when doing the conformation then? I got the following error in my terminal:

Original Data has (0.5, 0.5, 0.5) mm size and (394, 466, 378) voxels. Data is conformed to 1 mm size and 256 voxels for all directions changing data type from short to uchar (noscale = 0)...

Hi Trisanna

you can use the -cm flag, but typically what we do is let recon-all "conform" the data to 1mm, then do a post-hoc surface deformation with the original highres data using mris_make_surfaces

Hi there

My initial email didn't seem to have sent and so I am re-sending it:

I would like to know if it is possible to create surfaces from a scan

When I ran recon-all on the 1mm atlas it created some nice surfaces.

Let me know if you would like the .log as I cannot seem to make much
