Dear freesurfer experts,

          I am trying to compute the differences in subcortical volumes between 
two groups. I have read previous mail, 
https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg17597.html , and 
 in this mail, your answer was 'you can do a subcortical volume analysis by 
working with the aseg.stats file directly  or compute with mri_glmfit'. So, I 
tried to use 'mri_glmfit' to calculate it . but without specifying  the 
argument '-surf' (because it is mentioned in your webpage that 'if -surf is not 
specified, then mri_glmfit will assume that the data are volume-based and use 
the geometry as specified in the header to make spatial calculations').  
However, when I ran the command, it gave me the error message which said :' you 
must use-surface subject hemi' with surface data'. Do I  misunderstanding some 
point?
          On the other hand,  if there is statistical differences in 
subcortical volumes. How to display them in freesurfer?  Sorry, I am a 
beginner.  I know someone asked this question before, but I am still not fully 
understand it .

Thank you for your  help and reply  in advance !

Please find the command and error message attached
