Re: [Freesurfer] inflated surface

2011-04-30 Thread Tetiana Dadakova
Dear Bruce, Allison,

Thank you for your answer.

In tkmedit the surfaces look good.
Can this concavity mean that sulci are deeper in this region as
compared to neighboring regions? I am not sure I understand how to
interpret the inflated surface, therefore I cannot control if it is
correct.

Best wishes,
Tanja.

Re: [Freesurfer] distortion of flat map

2011-04-30 Thread Bruce Fischl
for occipital patches you can try running mris_flatten with -complete. 
This will use the complete distance matrix instead of a random sampling of 
it

cheers

no, I don't think it means that. It has more to do with the overall shape 
of the brain I believe, but we've never really investigated it

 Dear FreeSurfer list,

 When I look at inflated surface of my subjects (healthy males and
 females), almost all of them have a concavity in the posterior part of
 the brain (the arrow in attached image).
 It doesn't look correct to me. What can cause this problem?

 Thank you,
 Tanja.
