External Email - Use Caution Hi,
I would like to report a bug in freesurfer-dev. I have encountered this bug in a version downloaded on July 11th, 2019, and again in a version downloaded two days ago (August 20th). In short, it seems that parameters specified via an expert file relevant to T2-assisted pial segmentation, such as -T2_min, are not passed to the second call of mris_make_surfaces (the one actually using T2 data). In Freesurfer 6.0.0, this is not the case, and the T2_min parameter is indeed passed to the second call of mris_make_surfaces (although I note that in 6.0.0, when specifying -nsigma_below via the expert file, both the user-specified value and the standard value are passed to the second call of mris_make_surfaces). See below for more details on the specific freesurfer-dev behavior.
