Hi Bruce,

Attached the image that show the fine conversion for the lh (on the left) and the misaligned conversion for the rh (on the right)


I used the following commands:

left hemisphere, first bin: 
mri_label2label --srcsubject fsaverage --srclabel ./fsaverage/label/lh.v1_nbin1.label --trgsubject $SUBJECT --trglabel ./$SUBJECT/label/lh.v1_nbin1_from_fsaverage --hemi lh --regmethod surface

right hemisphere
mri_label2label --srcsubject fsaverage --srclabel ./fsaverage/label/rh.v1_nbin1.label --trgsubject $SUBJECT --trglabel ./$SUBJECT/label/rh.v1_nbin1_from_fsaverage --hemi rh --regmethod surface

The output is as follows:
left hemisphere, first bin:
srclabel = ./fsaverage/label/lh.v1_nbin1.label
srcsubject = fsaverage
trgsubject = HHcon_8
trglabel = ./HHcon_8/label/lh.v1_nbin1_from_fsaverage
regmethod = surface

srchemi = lh
trghemi = lh
trgsurface = white
srcsurfreg = sphere.reg
trgsurfreg = sphere.reg
usehash = 1
Use ProjAbs  = 0, 0
Use ProjFrac = 0, 0

So for some reason the conversion for the right hemisphere works but is not perfect, which is also reflected in the fact that extracting the label statistics (using mris_anatomical_stats) will sometimes give different values after re-running the conversion. 

Hope this helps.

Hi Hinke

we need more details if you want us to help you. Images, exact command lines and outputs, etc....

cheers

I’m having issues with the conversion of labels drawn in fsaverage to
subject’s space (using mri_label2label). 
I’ve manually drawn labels (V1-bins) in the fsaverage brain in both the left
and right hemisphere that I want to convert to a subjects brain. I’ve
successfully managed to do this for the left hemisphere of all the subjects,
where the V1-bins converted from the fsaverage fall perfectly within subject
specific V1. However, for the right hemisphere, the bins seem slightly
misaligned for all the subjects (they’re usually a bit bigger than they
should be). Any idea what could have caused this?! 
Many thanks.
