is this a macaque brain? What resolution is it? The inflation is dependent on the vertex spacing, and I suspect your data is higher res. Try inflating it more:

mris_inflate -n 15 lh.smoothwm lh.inflated

or try a bigger n (the default is 10)

Hi all,

When I inflate surface, I find the results I get are different from someone's. The one that I get inflates like a filled balloon, but someone's seemed inflated not enough (especially in the TE). The parameters for mris_inflate command are same. I enclosed these two kinds of inflated surface. Would you please tell me why? Does it caused by the smoothwm file? Thanks a lot.
