Ok, I see it.  I'll see what I can do with this, but I guess that means there's no way to do it and enter an explicit number of voxels to select from that central point?

under tools->label in tksurfer (I think) there's an option to dilate or erode the boundary (expand or contract)

What do you mean by dilate it?

     you can draw a boundary between them and also click "up to boundaries" or something like that. Or just click the center and dilate it a few times or some
     combination of thresholding and dilation. It's quite flexible

     Hi Bruce,  
     That's how I normally make my ROIs, but my boss is concerned that we are going from one area to a nearby area that is also activated by this contrast, so
     she wants to
     restrict it by a certain number of voxels from the center of activation.

          Hi Katie,

          you can use the custom fill tool in tksurfer for this. Display your activation map at whatever threshold you want, then click in the middle of the
     blob you want
          to create an ROI for and do custom fill with "up to functional threshold". This will floodfill from that point outwards stopping when it reaches
     vertices that
          are below threshold

          I'm trying to draw an ROI by selecting the center of activation for a particular contrast and then selecting nearby voxels within a certain range
     (for
          example. say 20
          voxels).  Ideally I'd like to select only the voxels within this range that are activated by my contrast.  However, I can't see how to do this, any
     help
          would be
          appreciated.
          Thanks,
