Hi Doug,
thank you very much for your help! I am sorry for the naive questions, but I am not very familiar with surface analyses: I ran recon-all on my template ("ANTSaverage") so that I have the surfaces. Is it correct that I have registered my volume mask to my template space before I map it onto the surface with mri_vol2surf? And where do I get the registration file from to run mri_vol2surf?
I am also not quite sure I understand why I have to register the surface mask to fsaverage then rather than to my own template?
I am sorry for these questions, but I am a bit confused and would really appreciate your help!
Charlotte

You need to map the mask into the fsaverage space. Probably the easiest way to do this is to run recon-all on your template to get surfaces. Then run mri_vol2surf to map your mask onto the surface, then use mris_apply_reg to map your surface mask to fsaverage (make sure to --no-rev since you are mapping a mask). If you want to do FDR, then run mri_fdr.

Dear freesurfer experts,
I would like to restrict my surface analyses (cortical thickness and surface area) to a mask from an fMRI meta-analysis using my own subject-specific template that I created with ANTS. So far, I have used Qdec and wanted to correct for cluster size running the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation on my own template. Now I would like to restrict the simulation to my mask to do a small volume correction in my regions of interest. I mapped the mask to my own template (in volume space) using ANTS (WarpImageMultiTransform) but how can I get this mask to the surface space to run the MC simulation on my own template within this mask?
I was planning to do: mri_mcsim --o my_template/mult-comp-cor/my_template/lh/mymask --base mc-z --surface my_template ?h --nreps 10000 --mask mymask.mgz
How do I get mymask.mgz in the correct space for this?
And can I continue using Qdec or do I have to use glmfit for these analyses?
In addition: is it also possible to do a small volume correction using FDR rather than cluster-size correction?
Thanks for your help!
