[Freesurfer] Comparison of surface and euclidean distances

Dear FreeSurfer experts, I computed distances on the cortex surface using mris_pmake on a data set acquired at a 3T scanner (using an MPRAGE sequence and protocol recommendations for FreeSurfer). The exact syntax of the distance computation was: mris_pmake --subject SUBJECT_ID --hemi lh --surfa

If you just want to sample your volume on the surface and smooth it there, use mri_vol2surf with --surf-fwhm. Send me your command line when you have one and I'll verify it is the right thing. doug On 01/09/2014 10:21 PM, Caspar M. Schwiedrzik wrote: > Hi Doug, I found a way to build it in myse

Hi Sujith 1. Can't you just use read_parcellation and read_annotation.m? 2. I'm not really sure, but certainly rerunning would be the easiest and safest thing. You could try looking at the recon-all -help and rerunning just the commands to create those files. cheers Bruce On Fri, 10 Jan 2
