Hi Miichael,

oh, that was definitely a mistake. You want to use either ?h.sphere if you want it to be uniform in subject space or ?h.sphere.reg if you want the parcels to correspond across subjects.

Sorry for the bad advice. Bruce

Hi Bruce,

I'm playing around with mris_make_face_parcellation, and I'm looking for guidance on choosing the "input surface".

In the usage message, the example that is given says:

"example: mris_make_face_parcellation lh.inflated $FREESURFER_HOME/lib/bem/ic3.tri ./lh.ic3.annot"

The choice of the inflated surface seems weird to me, as isn't it really just used for visualization? Seems like you'd either want to use a surface that's representative of the actual brain geometry (e.g. white, or "graymid") or the sphere. But I'm a little confused in general about what's going on behind the scenes here so I don't trust my intuition.
