Subject: Re: How to use read_curv?
To: Bruce Fischl <fischl@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu>


i have used read_surf to read ?h.white data. Now i would like to use curv and sulc file of FreeSurfer and extract the variance compared two one template of the average of 80subjects. We hav'ent a method to go from curv file to plot a mesh with matlab.

sorry, I still don't understand what the issue is. read_surf will give you the surface geometry/topology, and read_curv will give you the scalar fields to display over them. You can use mri_surf2surf to map them into a common space (the fsaverage surface for example)


cheers

Hi Bruce,

I would like to use information about curv and sulc of a population and plot
the variance with plot_mesh (variance presented in one brain)

With best regards,

      Hi Fatma

      I don't understand your question. read_curv returns a scalar
      field over the surface, not the surface itself, which is why it
      is nvertices x 1. Use read_surf to read the surface topology in

            Dear Bruce,
            Now i would like to use the function read_curv but I
            have a problem of
            dimension .. curv is a vector of [143704,1] and
            vertices must be a matrix of
            [3, 143704]

            Would you mind help me and send an exemple of the
            use of the function wiht
            the visualisation of the brain

            [curv, fnum] =
            read_curv([SD_atlas.parms.SUBJECTS_DIR '/'
            SD_atlas.parms.SUBJECT '/surf/' SD_atlas.parms.hemi
            '.curv']);

            white_sbjMesh.vertices = curv';
             white_sbjMesh.faces=(fnum+1)';

             SD_white_remeshed{j}.vertices =
            MARS_linearInterpolate(max_mesh.vertices,
            SD_sphere_sbjMesh,  white_sbjMesh.vertices);

            SD_avg_mesh.vertices =
            SD_avg_mesh.vertices+SD_white_remeshed{j}.vertices;

            Thank you very much for your help

            with best regards,

            Fatma
