Hi Taha - Once you've mapped from the volume onto the white surface, you should be able to display it on the inflated surface, and also to get thickness statistics (thickness is just the distance between corresponding points on the white and pial surface). You don't need to do anything to map from white to inflated within an individual.

Excellent! Thank you for the quick advice, I tried this initially but I was
using the wrong xfm format.
Since I have the FA map in subject ?h.white space, I have done the same with the
tract endings too. I am having some difficulties conceptually, in terms of
projecting the end points onto either the subject specfic or fsaverage inflated
surface. I assumed using mri_surf2surf would be sufficient to transform the
endpts from subject surface ?h.white space to the inflated surface, but it is a
scalar data file. Once the endpts are projected onto the inflated surface it
seems straightforward to extract the thickness values for further analysis.
Essentially replicating the attached image from Sølsnesa 2015. If you have any
suggestions that would be much appreciated. Thank you very much!
Best,
Taha

Hi Taha - Trying getting a .dat registration file from bbregister
and using that as the input to mri_vol2surf. There's a multimodal
tutorial on the freesurfer wiki that might be of help.

Hello All,
I am trying to project FA map (dtifit_FA.nii.gz) and the
endpt[1/2].pd.nii.gz from TRACULA onto fsaverage surface
space.
I was following instructions on
http://web.mit.edu/fsl_v5.0.8/fsl/doc/wiki/FDT(2f)UserGuide. ,html
under FreeSurfer
Registration, to create the various xfms files.
Next, I registered the FA map to subject conformed space
using flirt
* flirt -in dtifit_FA.nii.gz -ref
../../mri/orig.nii.gz -applyxfm -init
./xfms_taha/fa2freesurfer.mat -out fa2FS.nii.gz
Then, I used mri_vol2surf to project the registered FA
map onto fsaverage surface with the following command.
* mri_vol2surf --mov fa2FS.nii.gz --projdist-max 6 6 1
--cortex --hemi rh --trgsubject fsaverage --regheader
taha_brain
--reg ./xfms_taha/fa2freesurfer.mat --o
FA_2fsavg_surf.mgh
Upon viewing in freeview the fsavg rh.white surface and
fa2FS.nii.gz (FA map in FreeSurfer space) did not allign
properly. I have tried some variations wtihout any luck.
I used the following command line for freeview.
* freeview -f/usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage/surf/rh.white: overlay=FA_2fsavg_surf.m
gh -v fa2FS.nii.gz
* Attached are some pics of the FA confomred map and
fsaverage.rh.white surface
Do I need a xfm file for taliarch allignment? Any advice
or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Taha
