Hi Longchuan

I'm not sure what space the volume average is constructed in - Doug would
know. Probably talairach, in which case it won't match the surfaces well.
Can you send along your mris_fill command line? It shouldn't produce an
empty volume. There's no reason to look at the inflated surfaces in the

Hi, Bruce

Thank you for the information. I tried all possible combinations of mris_fill 
command line and none of them worked. Also, I loaded my ?h.white in tksurfer 
and confirmed that the surface is there. Do you want me to send you the surface 
file?

One example I used is this: 


mris_fill -c -r 1 lh.white lh.white.nii.gz


Thanks

Hi Longchuan

I'm not sure what space the volume average is constructed in - Doug would know. 
Probably talairach, in which case it won't match the surfaces well. Can you 
send along your mris_fill command line? It shouldn't produce an empty volume. 
There's no reason to look at the inflated surfaces in the volume though - they 
have no volumetric meaning.

Re: [Freesurfer] make a volume template from the surface-based template for non-human primates

2013-03-17 Thread MCLAREN, Donald
For many non-human primate species, volume templates already exist. I would
recommend using them and aligning your surface templates to them to aid in
the ability to compare studies across laboratories in the same space.

For rhesus, see the 112RM-SL atlas.

Re: [Freesurfer] make a volume template from the surface-based template for non-human primates

2013-03-17 Thread Bruce Fischl

Hi Longchuan

I'm not sure what space the volume average is constructed in - Doug would 
know. Probably talairach, in which case it won't match the surfaces well. 
Can you send along your mris_fill command line? It shouldn't produce an 
empty volume. There's no reason to look at the inflated surfaces in the 
volume though - they have no volumetric meaning.


cheers
Bruce

Hi, Bruce

Sorry for the late reply as I was trying to figure it out by myself.
I mean the average of the subjects in the volume space that were used for
generating the surface template. Actually I kind of found a volume average
in the mri folder named as T1.mgz that seems to correspond to the surface
template for the non-human primates. Perhaps because my ?h.white and ?.pial
surface files do not have the identical origins as that of the volume
template, when I used the function "mri_surf2vol" to project the mgh surface
file to the volume average, I always got the outputs telling me there is 0
hits. I tried to diagnose it by projecting the ?h.white and ?h.pial to the
volume using "mri_fill" and I got an empty volume. I then tried to project
?h.inflated to the volume space using the "mri_fill" and this time, I got a
mask in the output volume space. Therefore, i suspect that there is a
mismatch of the origins between the ?h.white and the volume template in the
mri folder.

Could you please show me what are the best strategies to correctly project
the mgh file to the volume template in the 'mri' folder?

Many thanks

[Freesurfer] make a volume template from the surface-based template for non-human primates

2013-03-15 Thread Longchuan Li
Hi, FreeSurfer experts

I have a question regarding making a volume template based on the surface 
template for non-human primates. I have made a surface template using a group 
of monkeys and now, we want to see the result, which is a mgh surface file, on 
the coronal slices of the template. So I am planning to generate a volume 
template corresponding to the surface template and then project the mgh file to 
the volume for viewing. Could someone tell me what is the best way to generate 
such a volume template?

Many thanks in advance!
