External Email - Use Caution        

Dear Doctor Greve, 

Thank you for your reply. I am trying to do what you advised me. 

For now, I have segmented thalamic nuclei in the left hemisphere, checked and 
corrected this segmentation and used MRI_binarize as advised. However, I don’t 
know what to write for the « projmap » option of vol2surf… Could you please 
help me?

My command line is: vol2surf --vol2surf ***the thalamic segmentation.mgz*** 
***the surface obtained from MRI_binarize*** 1 (for projtype option) -2 (for 
projdist option) X (nothing for projmap option) ‘lta’ (for reg option) ’novsm’ 
(for vsm option) 0 (for interp option) ***My directory*** (for output option). 

Wish you a nice day, 
Best regards,
