Hi Darshan

no, resection is probably trouble depending on how big it is.

The talairach_afd is the automated failure detection. I can see why it would give a warning for the resected dataset, but Vincent: you should visually inspect your registration. It's not usually wrong when it warns, and frequently this is caused by the data going through analyze at some point and the direction cosines being lost.

cheers Bruce

I am having the same error with one of my datasets . This subject has a good part of the brain resected . Does Freesurfer have problems dealing with partially resected brain datasets?

----- Original Message ----- I am having trouble with 2 scans that exit with errors. Both have the same error:

talairach_afd: Talairach Transform: transforms/talairach.xfm ***FAILED***

This is actually preceded by a message stating that talairach.xfm already exists and will not be copied. If I use the --clean-tal option, my recon-all finishes without error. I haven't checked to see if any manual intervention is needed yet, but even if recon-all processed just fine this way, why is it happening?
