I see what you mean, though I don't think either one look that great. The first thing to do is to backup and look at the registration to fsaverage_sym by mapping the lh and rh curv to lh.fsaverage_sym and see if the curv patterns match up with those in fsaverage_sym and to each other (use mris_apply_reg)

External Email - Use CautionDear freesurfer community,
concerning interhemispheric registration: What are differences between mris_left_right_register and the xhemi pipeline (including the fsaverage_sym subject)? I understand that xhemi/fsaverage_sym are meant to provide an unbiased reference as opposed to simply mapping all data to one hemisphere.
I am trying to map a label from one hemisphere to the other on individual subjects. I noticed that mris_left_right_register results in output quite different from using fsaverage_sym via the xhemi process as an intermediate. As an example, see the figure file attached (original label on rh, mapped labels on lh). At the first glance, the output of mris_left_right_register seems to align with the curvature a lot better...
For reference, the following code was used. Is that correct? surfreg --s ${subject} --t fsaverage_sym surfreg --s ${subject} --t fsaverage_sym --lh --xhemi mris_apply_reg \ --src-label rh.label --trg rh_on_lh.xhemi.label \ --streg ${SUBJECTS_DIR}/${subject}/xhemi/surf/lh.fsaverage_sym.sphere.reg ${SUBJECTS_DIR}/${subject}/surf/lh.fsaverage_sym.sphere.reg
mris_left_right_register \ ${SUBJECTS_DIR}/${subject}/surf/lh.sphere \ ${SUBJECTS_DIR}/${subject}/surf/rh.sphere \ ${SUBJECTS_DIR}/${subject}/surf/lh.sphere.left_right \ ${SUBJECTS_DIR}/${subject}/surf/rh.sphere.left_right mris_apply_reg \ --src-label rh.label --trg rh_on_lh.left_right.label \ --streg ${SUBJECTS_DIR}/${subject}/surf/rh.sphere.left_right ${SUBJECTS_DIR}/${subject}/surf/lh.sphere.left_right
Thank you and with best wishes Cornelius
