MNE_MRI_preprocessing Before starting the Freesurfer analysis, you have to set some "environment variables", so that the following processing scripts know where to look for programs and data. Type ''freesurfer_4.3.0'' and ''setenv SUBJECTS_DIR '' in your Linux command window. Freesurfer will create a number of files in several subdirectories for each subject. You can automatically create the subdirecties for each subject ''mksubjdirs '' This will create the directory /myMRIdirectory/mysubjectname/, as well as several subdirectories. Check whether it worked, then forget about it for the time being.
