I see this does output a mask.mgh which is just what I need. I can
convert this and have my nifti mask. Thanks again.

If you're using glmfit, you can --label

Hi Nick,
I see. I am just not sure how to put this back together again to
match the registered thickness files in the .mgh file. Do the
vertices have unique ids? Can I cat and sort them? Can I dump
matching information from my particular thickness group file and then
sort?
Is there someway to binarize the .annot file to use as a mask with
mri_glmfit?
Cheers,

Morgan,
If you do this:
mri_annotation2label --subject <subjid> --hemi rh \
--outdir ./labels
you will get label files in the ./labels directory. Those label files
are text files listing the vertices and x,y.z of each label, including
'unknown' and 'corpuscallosum' (which are the only two that need
excluding). Will that provide you with what you need?

I am using ICA on what would be input to mri_glmfit but since ICA
is multivariate I need to exclude regions that don't have
interpretable thickness or distortion measures. It seems like
unknown and corpus callosum are the two to exclude. Are there any
others I should exclude?
I would like to convert the ?h.aparc.annot files to .mgz if that
gets me surface files integer coded with the regions. That way I
can binarize and exclude those regions with avwtools as I will need
to convert to nifti to do the ICA analysis anyway. What would you
suggest for this?

which parcellation are you using?

Thanks Bruce,

That seems to be the only white matter PU.

Hi Morgan,
no thickness should not be used in the cc.

I would like to make a mask for group analysis that excludes
the unknown parcellation area. Since I would like to apply the
same mask to all subjects (I have already brought them into
alignment with mri_preproc), I was wondering how I can convert
the average template label/?h.aparc.annot to a .mgz files that
I could then convert into a mask. Is there an alternative way
to produce such a mask?
As a follow-up question, I was wondering if parcellation areas
such as the corpus callosum should also be excluded from
analysis? Are the thickness estimates made in the corpus
callosum parcellation area interpretable?
Thanks in advance for your time.
