Sorry, I didn't note I was replying to you only.. Anyway, thank you for the reply! So I will apply the command I mentioned to you in my previous e-mail to create flipped RH and LH surfaces for the subjects with the right hemisphere affected. Should I register to the fsaverage_sym atlas also the subjects I don't want to flip (i.e., those with the left hemisphere affected), to pool them together in the statistic with the flipped subjects? Thank you again Paola

I would still use the xhemi tools for this. If you have N subjects, you will get 2*N surfaces aligned to the fsaverage_sym atlas. You can then just pick the ones you want to analyze further doug On 04/22/2014 08:34 AM, Paola Valsasina wrote: > Dear Doug, > > We have followed your suggestion and we performed the recon-all analysis for > all study subjects (till autorecon3) on non-flipped images. > > I am now reading the instructions on the wiki about the xhemi tool, but I am > not 100% sure they apply to our case. > > The wiki instructions describe a comparison between LH and RH within > subjects (i.e., an analysis of cortical asymmetry), whereas we would like > simply to L-R flip the final surfaces of patients having a RH damage, so > that all patients have the damage in the LH. > Then, we would like to compare them with control subjects. > > For this purpose, is it sufficient to register the patients lesioned in the > RH to the symmetric template with the --xhemi option? > > (i.e. surfreg --s subject_name --t fsaverage_sym --xhemi --rh --lh) > > Then, how do we perform final statistical analysis? > > Thank you in advance for any suggestion! > Kind regards > Paola > > > > Paola Valsasina, MSc > Research Fellow > Neuroimaging Research Unit (Director Prof. M.
