Hi Lijie

yes, that's fine. If you want a smoother surface, run mris_inflate on it a bit more.

mris_inflate -n 1 lh.inflated lh.inflated.more

or replace 1 with a bigger number to get a smoother surface, then replace lh.inflated with lh.inflated.more

cheers, Bruce

Hi all:

Now I have a customized average surface based on 50 subjects, using make_average_subject command. Loading the inflated surface in Freeview, I notice that there are some obvious differences between my template and fsaverage( not as smooth as fsaverage inflated surface, details in attachment ). I don't know whether it's reasonable or not. Is my customized template valid ?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards, Lijie Huang
