We don’t want the non-greymatter medial wall in CIFTI; however, the medial wall may undergo revision in the future and making it symmetric might be more convenient, though this would might require rerunning the left/right registration, which remains in all HCP Pipelines derived standard mesh CIFTI and GIFTI files from the original landmark-based registration published in Van Essen et al 2012 Cerebral Cortex.

A central goal of CIFTI was the exclusion of non-interesting locations from the file (this becomes more important with dense connectivity files, and is a far larger effect for voxel structures (avoiding filling out the entire FOV)). We do not expect people to use the -cifti-export-dense-mapping command just for file format interoperability (but only for special circumstances, basically if spatial relationship information must be obtained in software without full cifti support, without leaving the cifti format).

I guess that the difference of 10 indices/vertices between left and right hemis exists for an MSMAll file as well, but I haven’t checked it yet. One comment: The medial wall has been left out in CIFTI files because the medial wall is not cortical grey matter. This is legitimate, however, it introduces confusions when communicating between CIFTI and GIFTI files. It would be nice if HCP developers, in future, consider a version of CIFTI with medial wall included.

I believe the left and right hemisphere medial wall masks were generated separately without trying to synchronize across hemispheres, and used early on, and for ongoing compatibility we stayed with the same masks.

It will even turn a 59k surface-only cifti into a standard 91282 cifti (or vice versa, if you are so inclined). Yes, -cifti-export-dense-mapping will give you the cifti index to gifti vertex mapping as a text file, if you want to do things the hard way.

Can I simply say that: For left hemisphere: vertex number in cifti = vertex number (up to 29706) in LH gifti For right hemisphere: vertex number in cifti = vertex number (up to 29706) in RH gifti + 29706 Or the mapping is more complicated than this?

Usually when I want to do that I split the CIFTI file into hemispheric GIFTI files, but perhaps there is a good way to load in a specific mapping based on something we can output from wb_command.

So the number of cortical vertices in cifti files is less than the number of cortical vertices in gifti files (left hemi vertices + right hemi vertices = 64984). Looks like this is related to not having medial wall vertices in the cifti files, right? We have loaded these files in Matlab. Now we want to know which vertex in right (or left) hemisphere gifti file corresponds to which vertex in the cifti file. How can we achieve this?
