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 !
