Monkey Data And FreeSurfer

This page contains notes on how to process monkey data using Freesurfer.


For starters, Sebastian Moeller has provided a set of scripts which break-down the steps individually. This is necessary because the recon-all script, which is the wrapper utility normally used to process human data, is not setup to work with monkey data. Sebastians scripts will guide you from raw anatomicals to reconstructed surfaces. The process requires intensive manual intervention, in the case of using a single channel surface coil system, is probably not precise enough for morphometric analysis. Mainly the surfaces are used for display purposes (and some experimental surface based functional group analysis).


Per this email exchange about correcting for sphinx positioning, here are the scripts:
