Re: [Freesurfer] Creating intermediate surfaces between white and pial?

Hi Tim

mris_expand -thickness ...

should do the trick. If you specify -thickness it will read in the ?h.thickness file and interpret the <mm> argument as a percentage of thickness, which is what you want I think

Dear FreeSurfer experts,

I know that I can sample data from a certain depth between the white and pial surfaces, but is there any way to create an intermediate surface file (i.e., mesh)?

I would like to create, e.g., a surface file that is at 10% of the distance between the white and pial surface.

I had a look at mris_create_surface, but unless I misinterpreted the description of the command line arguments, it does not seem to be the proper tool for the job.

Background: This is for visualization purposes. I would like to create a figure similar to Figure S1 from Bletsch et al. 2018 in tkmedit: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/downloadSupplement?doi=10.1002%2Fhbm....

Thanks for your time and all the best,

Tim
