by default we run both parcellations, so you should have them. Which to choose should be based on what your questions are. The Desikan-Killiany has in general larger units than the Destrieux one, but also anatomically different.

As for your own training set, you'll need to create a set of manual labels and save them in .annot files, then run mris_ca_train on them. It should be documented on our wiki.

Dear Dr Bruce Fischl.

How are you?
I preprocessed 41 subjects' MRI to measure the volumes of
the cortical and subcortical structures with ver 3.04 Freesurfer.
What kind of atlas (Desikan-Killiany atlas or Destrieux atlas?) was used for my 
data?
And how can I choose the atlas between the two atlases.

If you provide me the tool for new training set, I'd like to create my own 
study specific atlas.
Really thank for your reply!

Sincerely

Woo Suk, Tae

there are two training sets we use for the two difference parcellation
schemes. Once consists of about 40 subjects distributed into 4 groups
(young, middle aged, elderly and Alzheimer's for the Desikan-Killiany
atlas). The other is 14 young and middle aged subjects in the Destrieux
atlas. Defining a new training set is extremely labor intensive, but we
distrubute tools for you to do so if you decide to.

Dear experts.

In the previous technical papers of Freesurfer, the the method of automated 
parcellation was described,

"This procedure automatically assigns a neuroanatomical label to each voxel
in an MRI volume based on probabilistic information automatically estimated
from manually labeled training set."

I'd like to know more detail, how many training set was used in Freesurfer,
and is it possible to define the study specific training set for automated 
parcellation using Freesurfer?
