Hi Bruce, Doug, and FreeSurfer Team,
We have calculated coregistrations between bold timeseries and T1 images using
BBR & distortion correction as implemented in the epi_reg utility in FSL5.
We would like to map our functional timeseries to surface space for
connectivity analyses (analagous to papers by Yeo & Buckner). Normally,
without distortion correction, we would use tkregister tp convert the rigid
body coregistration calculated in fsl by flirt(.mat) to a register.dat file,
and then use mri_vol2surf to birng the data to surface space. However, with
distortion correction, the coregistration between the epi & T1 is represented
as a deformation field (_warp.nii.gz).
Is there a way for FreeSurfer to read this warp and use the information? We
could of course simply do a two-step registration by moving our epi data into
T1 space first using FSL and then use FreeSurfer to get it to the surface, but
that would involve an extra interpolation. Are the ways to do this in one
step using our already-calculated & QA'd deformation fields from FSL?
Thanks so much for your time & advice.
Best,
Ted Satterthwaite
