Dear Freesurfers,

Is it possible to convert ascii files in surface files?

I found some posts in this mailing list only about converting surfaces to ascii files using mris_convert. 

Actually, I would like to use the thickness ascii files (converted using mris_convert) to process the data in another software (such as R or Matlab), and then retrieve the results (in ascii) back to freesurfer, for visualisation in tksurfer. 

Could anyone help me, please?

Thank you in advance!

All the  best
