Hi Doug and others, 

A while ago, I got this reply to my question below (thanks!). I tried to look in to it, but I am a bit confused (probably because I am very new to Freesurfer). 
My results are on the MNI 152, but I don't understand what you mean with 'run the mni152 through freesurfer'. Is this the process to get the register.dat file that is required in mri_vol2surf?
What would you recommend to get the register.dat file? Is it possible to use bbregister for that? I have tried this, but I don't know whether it is correct: 

bbregister --s fsaverage --mov con_0001.nii --init-spm --reg register.dat --bold

 
Thanks! 
Lotte
