Hi Srishti, I had a similar problem recently, so I will try to help. To compare your maps with the surface maps SN_like_cortical_lh.gz of the others you need to map your volume to the surface of the same subject they are using.
That is, you first have to run recon-all on that subject (unless they gave you the link to the subject folder for which recon-all has already been run. Say, the name of the subject folder is SUBJECT-ID). Then, you need to map your volume to the surface of that subject: mri_vol2surf --src negative_allsocial_proportion.nii --regheader SUBJECT-ID --hemi lh --o ./neg_allsocial_lh.mgh [more options] Then, you should be able to look at both surface maps on your subject surface, e.g., with tksurfer tksurfer SUBJECT-ID lh inflated -overlay ./neg_allsocial_lh.mgh -overlay SN_like_cortical_lh.mgh -fthresh 0.5 For the volume, you need to map your volume maps to the same MNI152 volume space the other volume maps are in, and then you should be able to view them both on the according MNI template with any brain volume viewer program (e.g., fslview,...). Hope this helps.

No such file or directory I would like to re-iterate my issue as that might be helpful. We have carried out a meta analysis and want to compare our meta analytic maps to someone's else's map. Our meta analytic map is negative_allsocial.vmp which we converted to a nifti using neuroelf and now have the negative_allsocial.nii. We want to see how someone else's map which is the SN_like_cortical_lh.gz (they said to view this on a subject file to which they gave us the link) compares to our map. We would also further want to see how our map compares to their volume map which is SN_like_subcortical.nii (these are in MNI152 volume space). We are using mri_vol2surf to view compare the two files. mri_vol2surf --src negative_allsocial_proportion.nii --src_type analyze --srcreg [REGISTRATION MATRIX] --hemi lh --o ./neg_allsocial.nii --projfrac 0.5 And for the registration matrix I tried using bbregister as told my the freeSurfer help group. I can send the files as well if required and would highly appreciate some prompt help on this. Thanks so much!
