That is a file with the overlay info at each vertex. It looks like a volume file because it is an mgz file, but that will have as many data elements as there are surface vertices. Each element will have the value of the overlay volume at the location of the surface vertex.

Hi, Thank you for your response. I apologize if this is a basic question, as I am new to FreeSurfer. Could you please elaborate on what |overlay.lh.mgz| refers to?

For mapping to the surface, each surface vertex has an xyz coordiate in anatomical space. The registration file is used to convert this into the column, row, slice in the overlay space. The value of the overlay volume at the CRS is then assigned to that vertex. In your case, the coordinate is adjusted by projecting it along the surface normal by a distance of 0.2 times the thickness at that vertex. The overlay could be trilinearlly or cubically interpolated, but you don't have that in your command line. If you want to see the input volume and the sampled points, you can do something like
freeview mri/nu.mgz:overlay=overlay.mgz:reg=register.lta -f surf/lh.white:overlay=overlay.lh.mgz When viewing in the volume, select lh.white in the upper left, then go to the lower left and check the "Use overlay color" to change the surface color from yellow to the color of your overlay

Hello FreeSurfer Experts, I am using |mri_vol2surf| to map a volume onto a surface, with the registration |.dat| file generated via |bbregister|. I would like to understand how the input volume is being sampled to generate the surface and how to visualize the sampled points. mri_vol2surf --src "$input_volume" --out "$output_surface" --srcreg "$output_reg_file" --hemi lh --projfrac 0.2
Specifically, how can I display the |input_volume| along with the sampled points at a |projfrac| of 0.2 on Freeview? Thank you in advance for your help! Shraddha
