Great! I see what you mean .. I think I just see some residual overlay in the medial wall when I load aparc.annot…

Thanks so much!

I thinkyou just need to change the aparc to be either transparent or

Hi Doug,

I think I find out where the problem is. Actually the mri_vol2surf
works nicely (and it's also true that tksurfer with -mni152reg samples
the overlay to the white surface by default instead of to the pial
surface.)

The problem is in freeview + rh.aparc.annot.

If you do the following for the attached rh mgh file, you will see it
correctly displayed:

tksurfer fsaverage rh inflated -overlay rh.pial_surface.mni305.mgh

If you overlay this mgh in freeview with rh.inflated surface, but
without loading rh.aparc.annot, it also displays correctly.

However, once I load the rh.aparc.annot, I see something like attached
png.

Thanks!
Daniel

     I don't understand what you mean by a "much smaller brain". Can you
     elaborate?

         I understand. But the end product turned out to be a much smaller

              The way the software is set up, you should use
         mni152.register.dat
              with
              mri_vol2surf to map mni152 volumes to the fsaverage (ie
         MNI305)
              surfaces

                  Hi Doug,

                  Just checking again, because I haven't heard from
         you. So the
                  purpose
                  is to use mri_vol2surf is convert MNI152 to a FreeSurfer
                  (MNI305) mgh
                  file. I am not sure about the correct register.dat to
         use. The
                  mni152.register.dat is for MNI305 -> MNI152 though.

                  I'm assuming that there exists some sort of inverse
                  mni152.register.dat somewhere?

                  Thanks!

                       Thanks Doug!

                       Because it maps from a MNI152 space to the
         FreeSurfer average
                       space, do you know what register.dat I can use?

                       Is it some sort of inverse mni152.register.dat?
                       Thanks!

                               Dear FreeSurfer Experts,

                               I am trying to visualize fMRI activation
                  (generated from
                               fsl) on the
                               fsaverage inflated surface, using
                  mni152.register.dat.

                               It's odd that I find the results to be
         slightly
                  different
                               between
                               tksurfer and freeview. However, I made
         sure that I am
                               using the same
                               threshold...

                               Judging from fslview, I think the result
         with
                  freeview is
                               more
                               accurate -- is it due to tksurfer
         loading orig.mgz by
                               default, and
                               free view loading something else?

                               Thanks!
