Re: [HCP-Users] projecting from volume to R440 template (subcortical and cerebellum)

[Glasser, Matthew]

I would recommend mapping your individual subject data onto individual subject surfaces and then registering on the surface.  Volume to surface mapping onto a group average surface from a group average volume is not particularly accurate in comparison.  Once you average cortical data in the volume, you lose the ability to do accurate spatial localization to cortical areas.  Instead data can be easily mapped onto locations centimeters away in 2D from the correct location on the folded cortical sheet.  Also, group average surfaces are very blurry in many cortical regions because different people have different folding patterns that cannot be registered (e.g. some people can have two gyri where others have only one).  Thus, it’s really better to do your cortical analysis on the surface to begin with, as we do in the HCP with CIFTI.   Peace, Matt.

Is an "Atlas_ROIs.2.nii.gz" or similar files provided for volume to surface mapping onto R440 group template? If not, will there be any in the future?
