Hi,

I am trying to paint the functional significance map onto the surface generated from the antomical (monkey brain).  What I am doing now is using the following command:

" tksurfer ${tmp_subj} ${hemi} ${cut_surface}  -overlay /space/data/stan/cooked/2010/100131CastorTEST2/MION/fmc_reg/H-vs-V/sig.256.reg.nii -overlay-reg ${reg_dir}/register.dat "

the "sig.256.reg.nii" is the significance map and "register.dat" is the transformation matrix.

It looks like that the commands are doing fine, I see the signicance map on inflated surfaces.  However, I also see other tutorial that used mri_vol2surf to display the significance map.
I wonder whether or not our method is not as good as mri_vol2surf.

I am asking this question also because we are creating ROIs from the surfaces. Now our ROIs (labels)  are only corresponding to a very tight layer of voxels surrounding the white matter. Shall I use mri_label2vol to include all the graymatter voxels surrounding the label?

Any suggestions would be very helpful.
