Hi all, Sorry to keep pressing this issue, but I am really stuck and need to sort this out before I can progress. I have been generating some customised annotation files, generally with 500 or more ROIs. The parcellation is done on a per hemi basis, meaning that there will not always be the same number of rois in each hemi (e.g., left may have 540, right may have 603). I have tried using mri_label2vol to convert the annots into volumes, but I often run into memory problems (see second error below). On a recent posting, it was suggested that I use mri_aparc2aseg. This seemed to work, but only for one hemi. That is, I find that the left hemisphere is parcellated correctly, but the the entire right cortex is assigned just one intensity label (2000). I have tried using a label file with many more regions that there actually are (e.g., 5000), but this made no difference. I'm guessing the problem arises because I have a different number of regions in each hemi (?). The output for one trial is below. Can anyone suggest a workaround for this problem? Thanks, Alex
