See this page: http://brainvis.wustl.edu/help/pals_volume_normalization/ These were procedures for the PALS surfaces, but similar steps were used to get colin in various stereotaxic spaces. I chose SPM2, because I guessed it was the best fit for AAL's MNI space. Maybe the original (unwarped) colin would be better, but I'm not sure I can still find that. These were in the caret distribution. This figure illustrates how different mapping can be with different versions of MNI space: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2045137/figure/F1/ … due to methodological (warping) differences. > I was wondering if there is somewhere a surface file for the Colin27 brain > but sampled on 2mm MNI152, because my AAL volume is MNI152 2mm. This surface should align with both 1mm and 2mm volumes in MNI space. There are multiple vertices within each cubic 2mm voxel, so if you map the volume to the surface, many vertices will have the same value. http://brainvis.wustl.edu/help/pals_volume_normalization/spm5_captures/ The second link shows the surface contours overlaid on the volume. These captures show PALS subjects rather than colin, but they illustrate what the surface contour looks like on a 1mm T1. If you downsampled the T1 to 2mm, it would just look blockier -- the alignment wouldn't change. > Or maybe I could do the recon-all from Freesurfer on Colin27 T1 image but > WITHOUT changing the dimensionality.

The only way I know is to export to GIFTI (surf.gii), which you can do in caret5 (File: Save Data File: Gifti Surface file) while the colin surface is loaded in the main window. But the only specs I could find were all warps of some sort (afni, 711-2B, SPM99, SPM2). The unwarped surface exists somewhere, I'm sure -- just don't know how to find it. Joern Diedricksen may have it, as he was using the colin cerebellar surface for SUIT; however, I'm not sure he'd have if for the cerebral hemispheres. :( > > thanks for the help, > > > João V.
