Hi Giulia,
no, that shouldn't be the case. You don't care about the RAS coordinates
of the inflated vertex - only its index. Use the index to look up the
corresponding vertex on another surface like white, then use its RAS
coords. Should work for any spot in the brain.
cheers

External Email - Use Caution
Thank you Bruce,
Yes, this is what I did.
Because the insular contacts are not in the insula anymore after I use the
vertex to find the RAS
coordinates for the inflated surface, my conclusion is that this only works
with surface electrodes,
not depth electrodes.
Best wishes,
Giulia

Hi Giulia
find the vertex index of the vertex you are interested in, then read the
surface whose RAS coordinates you want (e.g. the white or pial) and
lookup the RAS coords of the vertex at that index.
