Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your response. I was able to get the smoothwm surface, to make a registration file (lh.sphere.reg).

When I then try to use mri_surf2surf, it says that the dimensions are not aligned (atlas surf files - 163 842 vertices; subject surf files - 127 845 vertices). The lh.sphere.reg file has 127 845 vertices. Is there a way to fix this so that I can proceed?

Thanks,
Stefanie

You don't often get email from bfischl@mgh.harvard.edu. Learn why this is important

Hi Stefanie

 

The registration is based on the curvature of the smoothwm surface (among other things) so not easily.  Lilla might know more about that atlas.

Hi there,

 

I am trying to register my Freesurfer subject's cortical surface into a common space to use the parcellations from a pediatric atlas (UNC 4D cortical surface atlas).

 

With Freesurfer version 8.0.0 in a Linus OS, I am using mris_register as: mris_register -1 individual_subject/lh.sphere 4D_atlas/lh.sphere individual_subject /lh.sphere.FS.reg.

 

I am getting an error where it says it requires a smoothwm file from the atlas files, though I only have curvature and sphere files from the atlas. Is there a way to register the atlas files to my subjects and then put the parcellations onto my subject's cortical surface?

 

Thanks,

Stefanie
