Re: [Freesurfer] Fwd: Talairach Positioning in Horizontal View

2013-06-11 Thread Douglas N Greve
Hi Peter, what scanner are you using? You might be better off with using 
a 3T atlas. Spec -schwartzya3t-atlas with recon-all and see if that 
cleans it up. You can run just the talairaching with

recon-all -s subject -schwartzya3t-atlas -talairach

Re: [Freesurfer] Fwd: Talairach Positioning in Horizontal View

Did it change anything at all? Make a copy of the talairach.xfm file, 
re-run, and see if it is different in any way.

Hi Doug,

I am using a GE 3T scanner with a slice thickness of 1.7 mm. I tried 
using the new script you provided (thanks for the help!) and it did 
not seem to make any difference with the couple of subjects that I 
tried. I have attached a screenshot. The right image in the screenshot 
is the original Talairaching and the left is after I ran the script 
you provided. Does this mean I will be forced into manually editing 
the Talairach for all of my subjects and re-running recon-all for all 
of them after I do that or is there another solution?
