Freesurfer experts,
I'm trying to make average surfaces for a collection of subjects into a template space. I have performed the following flirt registration per subject:
flirt -in $SUBJECTS_DIR/$CURSUBJECT/mri/T2.nii.gz -ref template0.nii.gz -omat $SUBJECTS_DIR/$CURSUBJECT/mri/transforms/talairach.fslmat -out $SUBJECTS_DIR/$CURSUBJECT/mri/transforms/talairach.nii.gz -dof 12 -searchrx -$D $D -searchry -$D $D -searchrz -$D $D
Then make the talairach.xfm files for each subject lta_convert --infsl $SUBJECTS_DIR/$CURSUBJECT/mri/transforms/talairach.fslmat --outmni $SUBJECTS_DIR/$CURSUBJECT/mri/transforms/talairach.xfm --src $SUBJECTS_DIR/$CURSUBJECT/mri/T2.mgz -trg template0.nii.gz
Then run mris_make_average_surface mris_make_average_surface -i 7 -s $CURSURFTYPE $CURHEMI $CURSURFTYPE.flirt sphere.reg2 fsaverage
The resulting average surface does not overlay onto template0.nii.gz correctly, it is in the wrong orientation. It isn't in TKR space, so I convert it to TKR space. mris_convert --vol-geom template0.nii.gz $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/surf/$CURHEMI.$CURSURFTYPE.flirt $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/surf/$CURHEMI.$CURSURFTYPE.flirt.volgeom mris_convert --vol-geom template0.nii.gz --to-tkr $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/surf/$CURHEMI.$CURSURFTYPE.flirt.volgeom $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/surf/$CURHEMI.$CURSURFTYPE
The resulting surface $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/surf/$CURHEMI.$CURSURFTYPE overlays onto the template template0.nii.gz but it is offset slightly and not overlaid correctly. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Chris.
