Matt, Yes, I think the plan is to discuss this and other potential options. I had a feeling you may know the most, but I thought I would send out the question in case anyone else has tried. As it stands, it sounds like no method currently exists for a Caret surface-to-Freesurfer transition?
I am still trying to understand Freesurfer basics, but it sounds like the longitudinal pipeline generally requires the same input data as across-subject. My hope is that, since the surfaces are already constructed, I can avoid the need for an (infant) atlas, but I am still figuring out what that means in terms of files I need/conversion/etc. Thanks for your help, and I look forward to further discussion this afternoon.

Kara, I believe we are meeting tomorrow to discuss the options for this? I don't know anything about the FreeSurfer longitudinal pipeline, but it would take going through the pipeline and finding all of the inputs needed and converting them or generating them. I think the main goal here is to use the longitudinal surface registration. Matt.
