Hello,

I would like to convert a legacy dataset into CIFTI format. The legacy dataset 
lacks T2-weighted images or field maps. How does the HCP advise that 
investigators go about converting legacy data into CIFTI format? I assume this 
must be possible, as we can use FreeSurfer to convert to flat maps with such 
data...

For the structural data, the PreFreeSurfer pipeline requires both a T1w and a 
T2w image, so it can not be used on the legacy dataset. One can run the T1w 
images through FreeSurfer’s recon-all to approximate the HCP FreeSurfer 
pipeline for lower-resolution data. However, the PostFreeSurfer pipeline 
requires additional input files (e.g., T1w_acpc_dc_restore.nii.gz) that are not 
included in the FreeSurfer output.

Is there a reasonably straightforward way of converting legacy data without T2w 
images into CIFTI format? If not, does HCP plan to create a pipeline for 
preprocessing legacy data?
