Hello All,
I have been attempting to convert Label files generated using mri_annotation2label into surface files for use in external programs. In order to do this I first need to convert the label files into freesurfer binary. I have attempted to use the mri_label2vol function to generate an mgz file which could then be converted into freesurfer binary but this has resulted in mgz files which depict a solid cube rather than any brain structure. Any ideas as to why this could be?
I would also prefer to avoid ever converting the label files to a volume as converting the volume file to a surface file results in a lower quality than if the file has been maintained as a surface file throughout. Is there any way to use the Desikan Atlas to "divide" say the lh.pial surface file and generate a number of .pial files each consisting of one of the regions described by the Desikan Atlas?
Thanks, Zachary Humphrey
