Re: [Freesurfer] convert MNI152 coordinates into vertex index

Hi Marina

which surface you use depends on why you are trying to find the vertices

Hi Bruce, Thank you very much for the information. It is very useful. I'm taking a look at both possibilities.

Regarding the second option you gave me:

  you can just run through the list of vertices and find the one
  that is closest to your MNI coord

What file should I use to find the coordinates correspondence? Should I use [l/r].pial? Or maybe  [l/r].orig?

Do you think it is a good idea to load that file in matlab and look for the closest coordinates there, and see what vertex index those coordinates correspond to?

Thank you in advance.

Best wishes, Marina
