Here is the tutorial for longitudinal processing -

The 'base' and 'long' steps of the longitudinal processing should be re-run
after adding new timepoints.

Subject: [Freesurfer] longitudinal analyses, more than 2 timepoints
External Email - Use Caution
Dear FreeSurfer Team,
We are analyzing some longitudinal data (baseline [0], 6 months, 1 year, 1.5
years) using FreeSurfer 7.4.1.
We already analyzed two timepoints (basline[0] and 6 months) but now we are
trying to look at 4 timepoints in total.
I was wondering what the best way would be to do this. For the longitudinal
processing, should we create 3 bases/within-subject templates between 0-6
months (this is already done), 0-1year, 0-1.5years), or between 0-6months,
6months-1year, 1year-1.5years. Or both?
Also, is it okay to correct/edit only the bases?
After the longitudinal processing, can we create a Longitudinal Table and apply
the two-stage model (LongitudinalTwoStageModel) method? Or because of the 4
time points, we need to apply something else.
Thank you for your help in advance!
All the best, Eszter
