Hi,
I have what I suppose is a slightly unusual question - is it possible to get the head/face shape from a subject's MRI using FreeSurfer? I've only ever used it to get the cortical surface, but was wondering if I could somehow extract the head/face shape, as well.

Hi Luzia
the outer BEM surface that we sometimes generate for EEG/MEG inverse analysis might do.

Hi Luzia,
There is also a script called mkheadsurf, which will generate a high resolution very accurate surface (not restricted by the same spherical restrictions the BEM surfaces have). It may shrink the surface slightly (by 1 - 2 voxels, but it should work). A description of how we use it in MNE is provided here: http://www.martinos.org/mne/manual/analyze.html?highlight=mkheadsurf
