Re: [Freesurfer] fs-fast preprocessing resting state
Hi there I am running a program to generate a patient group specific template from T1 brains. I need to know which of the Free Surfer outputs will be best for creating a patient brain template. The T1 images need to be cleaned for skull, meninges and neck. My guess is brain.finalsurfs.mgz. thanks! Javeria.
