Thanks Doug! This is very good to know. Is there a ratio or relationship between the fmin and fmax that is optimal, as in, should we keep a 2 to 5 ratio?

The final mapping is a complicated combination of all three (fthresh, fmin, fslope). I usally use the -fminmax option which is easier to explain. -fminmax 2 5 means that the threshold is set to 2 and that at 5 the color will saturate. doug On 01/11/2016 12:18 PM, Hirsch, Gabriella wrote: > Hi FreeSurfer experts, > > I recently ran a simple fMRI analysis in FSL and now generating images > of the activation in freesurfer using reg-feat2anat to register the > functional activation to the freesurfer recon-all files, and > generating the images using tksurfer: > > /tksurfer pilot_3 lh inflated -annot aparc.annot -ov > run4578_COMB.gfeat/cope1.feat/stats/zstat1.nii.gz -ovreg > run4_fwhm8.feat/reg/freesurfer/anat2std.register.dat *-fthresh 4 > *-fslope 1/ > > However I have come across a strange occurrence when I change the > threshold.
