Thanks Bruce!
Can you please explain how I can view the structure resulting from calling mri_tesselate on the left hippocampus in Matlab?
I tried loading it with read_surf.m but the "magic number" doesn't fit - it's 16777213 instead.
I messed with read_surf.m a bit and forced loading as a QUAD_FILE, but the vertices matrix looks like this:
-160.2400 0 -158.7600 0 -159.2400 0 -160.0800 0 -158.7600 0 -159.2400 0 -159.9600 0 -158.7600 0 -159.2400 0
....
I can read this into a correct Nx3 coordinate matrix, but I'm not sure what to do with the faces.
Can you maybe help with this? Is there an updated read_surf.m that should work?
Thanks again!
Tanya

sure, you could use mri_tesselate or mri_mc for this. We don't typically generate them as the structures don't really have a surface-based organization so (for example) interior points aren't represented on the mesh

Hi Freesurfers,I'm wondering whether the meshes (list of vertices+faces) corresponding to structures such as the hippocampus and amigdala are available as part of the Freesurfer output? In the /surf folder there are only the meshes of whole brain structures (cortex, pial, WM...). Is there any utility function to generate the meshes for the smaller structures?
