Hi all,
I am interested in projecting my functional connectivity z map to the cortical surface. I attempted to use mri_vol2surf but received a warning message (see command and output below) indicating that the voxel resolution in the source volume doesn't match the registration file. Perhaps as a result of this, when I attempt to load the resulting .mgh file in tksurfer, nothing appears on the cortical surface image. Any idea what went wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
Here's the my command and output:
