Hi Doug, I used the caudate surface I created as an example as I was testing the command out. I do not plan to use this command for the caudate. It just happened to show the same issue as the earlier post ( https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu&q=subject:%22\[Freesurfer\]+R+L+flipping%22&o=newest&f=1 <https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu&q=subject:%22%5C[Freesurfer%5C]+R+L+flipping%22&o=newest&f=1>) and so I thought it would be the clearest way of showing you the issue I was referring to.
I want to flip the lh.thickness.fwhm10.fsaverage.gii files to the right hemisphere for certain subjects and I was worried about having a similar voxel shift if I used mris_reverse. I found posts using xhemireg and surfreg along with mris_reverse, and so I am trying to figure out what is the best way to flip these thickness files to the opposite hemisphere (files already warped to symmetric space) Thanks, Ajay On Mon, Mar 28, 2016 at 5:05 PM, Ajay Kurani <dr.ajay.kur...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Doug, > I attached a .png file to show an example.
