Hi Dr. Greve,

I looked at the medial wall area in lh.MEQ_area.10.mgh and noticed a small cluster 'red' colored, please find it attached. Rest of the brain surface is 'yellow'.
I am not sure what can I interpret front his?

Version I am using is: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-dev-20160701-61ad3a0

Thanks.

Hmm, something is going wrong because medial wall areas should have been
masked out. Take a look at the medial wall area in lh.MEQ_area.10.mgh
file with something like

tksurferfv fsaverage lh inflated -aparc -ov lh.MEQ_area.10.mgh -fminmax
.001 .1

scroll through the subjects to see if you see any non-zero signal in the
medial wall


Are you using v6?
