| The variables indicate the location of code and data sets. Setting them once at the beginning of your data processing ensures that the right version of the code is executed, all the binaries will be found and that the data files are also correctly located. | |

| Current volume-based registration methods cannot achieve high accuracy in aligning the cortical regions because of their high inter-subject variability. When we are only interested in finding correspondences between these areas (for example, in the case of functional studies), it is sufficient and also more accurate to register only the cortical areas with the spherical averaging method. | |

| When computing the deformation fields between a subject and another or an atlas, the data itself is not changed. When the deformation field is computed, however, it can be applied to the subject, which means resampling its scan(s) in the target coordinate space. | |

Do I have to use two MPRAGEs to run recon-all? Explain.
- answer goes here
Can FreeSurfer help me select a region of interest and measure certain quantities within? How?
- answer goes here
What is fsaverage made of?
- It is constructed of MRI scans of 40 subjects that have been manually segmented.
What measures will FreeSurfer give me?
- answer goes here
How long does it take for recon-all to finish processing one subject?
- 20-24 hours.
How long would it take you to do this manually?
- answer goes here
Why do I have to set so many variables before using FreeSurfer?
- The variables indicate the location of code and data sets. Setting them once at the beginning of your data processing ensures that the right version of the code is executed, all the binaries will be found and that the data files are also correctly located.
Where do I find all those fantastic stats files FreeSurfer created for me?

When mailing the FreeSurfer list about a problem, what information should I include?

Why is spherical averaging better than current volume-based methods out there?
- Current volume-based registration methods cannot achieve high accuracy in aligning the cortical regions because of their high inter-subject variability. When we are only interested in finding correspondences between these areas (for example, in the case of functional studies), it is sufficient and also more accurate to register only the cortical areas with the spherical averaging method.
What is a limitation of this procedure?

When you do all that crazy morph stuff, are you changing the data?
- When computing the deformation fields between a subject and another or an atlas, the data itself is not changed. When the deformation field is computed, however, it can be applied to the subject, which means resampling its scan(s) in the target coordinate space.
When I report my findings in a paper, is there any way to report the Talairach coordinates?

Do I have to remove every bit of skull, dura, etc. that I see in the brainmask? Why or why not?
- answer goes here
Oh no! I made all these edits to a subject but now I want to rerun recon-all on the subject again with a new version of FreeSurfer. Will I lose all my work?
- answer goes here
Where do all those atlases come from that FreeSurfer uses?
The different FreeSurfer atlases were generated from manually segmented data sets. Given each definition of the manual segmentation procedure and its labels, we constructed an atlas.
If a ran my subjects with version 4.0, can I run the rest with the newest version?
For population studies and large scale comparisons, the best is to process all your data sets with the same version of FreeSurfer.
How do I control for head size?
