Hi Doug, I think I solved the registration issue. This is my command:

mri_surf2surf --hemi lh --srcsubject bert --srcsurfval thickness --src_type curv --trgsubject fsaverage --trgsurfval bert/surf/lh_av.thickness --trg_type curv

Any objections?

Thanks, Michael

Hi Doug, thanks for you reply. That is exactly what I want to do so many thanks for explaining that.
However I have problems with the usage of mri_surf2surf

michael$ mri_surf2surf --srcsubject bert --srcsurfval bert/surf/lh.thickness --trgsubject fsaverage --trgsurfval bert/surf/lh.thickness_average --hemi lh
ERROR: could not determine type of bert/surf/lh.thickness_average

Also when I run the example from the FS wiki site i get the following error (see below). Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks, Michael

I don't have anything explicitly that will compute a map of z-scores,
but you could do a two "group" analysis with your subject as the only
one in one group and then do a group analysis. Alternatively, you can
transform you individual to the fsaverage space (mri_surf2surf), then
compute the z using fscalc.fsl. You'd have to compute the group mean
and stddev using mri_concat (--mean and --std), then use fscalc.fsl,
something like

fscalc.fsl --surf fsaverage lh lh.thickness.fsaverage.mgh -sub
groupmean.mgh -div groupstd.mgh zscore.mgh

Dear FS experts,

could someone advise on how to create from an individual thickness file (?h.thickness) a standard deviation or z-score map of the thickness with respect to a control group.

Thanks, Michael
