Re: [Freesurfer] Conversion fMRI volumes to surface

Hi Marina

yes, mri_vol2surf will sample volumes onto the surface. You will need to register them first (we typically use Doug Greve's bbregister for this). What preprocessing did you do? For cortical data we don't recommend smoothing in the volume - you are much better off sampling to the surface then smoothing on the surface

External Email - Use Caution

Dear experts,

I’ve done the fMRI preprocessing and now I would like to convert each file (that contains 250 volumes) to surface.

Is it correct to use the function mri_vol2surf? Should I use any specific flag because they are 4D files? What is the best way to transform the volumes to surface?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Marina.
