I'm trying to convert a surface label to a nifti file to use with functional surface data that is already in nifti format. The ultimate goal is to be able to use the converted surface label as a seed in gPPI analyses that is run in MATLAB.

I've been able to use volume based seeds for the MNI305 subcortical stream and carryout the analysis on the surfaces already. I'm just wanting to use cortical surface seeds now.

I think I've got the code correct, but wanted to double check that I am using the correct command:

mri_label2label -srclabel mylabel --s fsaverage --trglabel tmplabel --outmask test.nii --regmethod surface --hemi lh

In this case, does the target surface matter? It seems to default to white?

Best Regards, Donald McLaren
