but are there holes in the cortex label irrespective of what is happening in the fMRI?

I looked at the surface mask and it seems those 0-valued vertices are 0-valued in the mask as well (image attached). Is there a way to correct this? To reiterate we have already tried revising the registration.

Thanks again for your help!

Is the cortex label 0 in the same locations where you have 0s in the surface mask?

Hi Doug,

Me and Shahin have looked at the registration and it looks fine. I know the activation is 0 because when I click on those vertices it tells me the tksconcat.nii value is "**0.000000**". I looked at the cortex.label file and found the 0-valued vertices within the file. We have scanned the same subject for different experiments but it is only for this session that we find the problem. Let me know if there's anything else we can check.

Thanks!

    Have you checked the registration? If so, are you sure that the

    whether somehow those vertices were not labeled.

        I used the command below to check the brain mask relative to
        the subject's anatomy:

        tkmedit myla_anat orig.mgz -over
        Subjects/myla/bold/masks/brain.nii.gz

        The mask looked fine in that no portion of the brain appeared
        to lie outside the mask.

                Hi Bruce,

                After unpacking the data, I simply run the selxavg command
                below and allow it to do the automatic pre-processing.

                selxavg3-sess -s Subjects/myla -a LOC_fsaverage_5p3.rh

                The analysis was generated with the following command:

                mkanalysis-sess -analysis LOC_fsaverage_5p3.rh -surface
                fsaverage rh -fwhm 5 -paradigm LOC.par -event-related
        -polyfit
                1 -gammafit 2.25 1.25 -mcextreg -TR 2.000 -nconditions 2
                -refeventdur 16 -per-run -force -fsd bold

                After fixing up the registration I saved the
        registration file
                under :Subjects/myla/bold/014/register.dof6.dat" and ran
                bbregister for all the runs within the subject folder
        as below.

                bbregister --mov Subjects/myla/bold/015/f.nii --reg
                Subjects/myla/bold/015/register.dof6.dat --init-reg
                Subjects/myla/bold/014/register.dof6.dat --bold

                I then ran the selxavg3-sess again.

                Let me know if you need any more information to help.

                Thanks!

                    what command lines did you run to register and sample?

                        Hello freesurfer experts,
                        The functional overlay for one of our subjects
        looks
                like the
                        image attached. You'll notice
                        the "holes" on the overlay that have a value
        of 0. I'm
                trying
                        to get ride of these as I
                        expect (as with other subjects) to have values
        for these
                        vertices that are not 0. Myself and
                        a colleague have tried improving the
        registration as
                much as
                        we see possible, but the problem
                        remains. Any tips on how to correct this issue
        would be
                        greatly appreciated.

                        Thanks in advance for your help!
