Dear FreeSurfer Community,

The Open Science Grid consortium (http://www.opensciencegrid.org) offers a service “FSurf” which allows large scale batch processing of MRI scans using FreeSurfer. FSurf supports the standard FreeSurfer workflow (autorecon-all) or workflows with arbitrary FreeSurfer options. FSurf currently uses FreeSurfer 5.3 but support for FreeSurfer 6.0 will be added in the near future. Note that no proposal for an allocation is required to use the service.

We are hosting a 30 minute webinar on Thursday, April 13th, 2pm CDT to cover the basics of batch processing using FSurf. The webinar will be accessible from a PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, or Android device at https://IU.zoom.us/j/644966220.

Instructions for getting started with FSurf can be found here: http://bit.ly/freesurferopensciencegrid.

We hope to see you there, and best regards.

The OSG FSurf support team
