FreeSurfer atlas stats files have a format that can be difficult to easily read in to R. This function takes a raw stats-file from the subjects directory and reads it in as a data.frame.
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
subj_dir <- "/path/to/freesurfer/7.2.0/subjects/"
aseg_stats <- file.path(subj_dir, "bert/stats/aseg.stats")
read_freesurfer_stats(aseg_stats)
} # }
