Hi all -
I was trying to merge rh and lh surfaces. I succeeded after reading the mailing list archives from March 2009 found at http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg09665.html.
I following this guide:
you can get something like what you want with
cd $SUBJECTS_DIR/subject mri_binarize --i mri/ribbon.mgz --min .0001 --o mri/tmp.mgh mri_tessellate mri/tmp.mgh 1 surf/lh.both mris_smooth -nw surf/lh.both surf/lh.smboth tksurfer subject lh smboth
Note that eventhough you call it "lh" it has both hemis. "lh" is just to fool freesurfer into thinking it is a hemi.
The issue I run into is that I try to get matlab to read the surface through read_surf, I find that the magic number is not recognized.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any thoughts about navigating through this?
Best,
Raghav
