Hello, I am currently starting a project with the minimally pre-processed rfMRI from the Human Connectome Project, but I need to do some additional processing first. This includes smoothing at 6mm FWHM and projection onto the fsaverage4 surface. I have smoothed the pre-processed rfMRI data using mri_convert (and have also converted the provided brain-extracted anatomical), but I am having issues registering the smoothed rfMRI volumes, and I understand that I need these register.dat files for mri_vol2surf.
I have tried bbregister --init-fsl; bbregister --init-spm; and manual registration using tkregister2. All of them give me the same error--I think it is a path error looking for a subject-specific brain mask (see detailed console errors below). After reading through others' problems with bbregister, I made sure I am running the updated versions of bb- and fsl-register, below: fslregister,v 1.40 2016/02/12 21:43:15 zkaufman bbregister,v 1.75 2016/05/10 20:02:28 greve freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c I also made sure these files had the edits recommended to others, so I don't think this is an previously-addressed issue. That // in all my errors suggests to me that this is a path problem with my HCP data? I am new to FreeSurfer, but I would think that the HCP-pre-determined path organization should be compatible with FSL and FreeSurfer, since their pipelines use both. Is this a compatibility issue with FreeSurfer 6.0? Anyways, I would prefer to use bbregister --init-fsl, but do not know how to point it to the right directory for a brainmask. There is no information provided in any of the --help menus or Wiki pages regarding how to specify brain masks for registration, and the HCP pre-processed data provides multiple 'mask.nii.gz' files that I suppose are not being recognized by bbregister (perhaps because they are not .mgz? I tried converting one to mgz and also got an error from mghWrite). Either way, I have 4 rfMRI runs per subject and over 40 subjects to process, so any advice on this error would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
