Hi Doug, 

Thanks for your informative replies! This is very helpful. 

Cheers,

We pretend the "volume" has number of columns equal to the number of vertices. nifti, mgh, etc, are just ways to store data

I thought mgh (or nifti) is meant to store volume data. How do one associate vertex weights to a surface from mgh? Maybe I can find some documentation for writing/reading such data into mgh somewhere?

    We have already started putting this data into mgh/mgz file (and
    even nifti).

        Hi Doug,

        I am using w files to show ECoG activation at localized
        regions on the cortex. So preferably, I would like to show
        temporal dynamics too (thus the multi-frame question, and
        thanks for pointing me to MNE).

        What will replace w files going forward? i think w file's file
        format is very concise and clear for what it does. Thanks for
        the definite answer though. I will spend some time to fork
        Freeview and add in what I need.

        Cheers,
