[Mne_analysis] Vertex mapping for fsaverage

Thanks for your prompt replies.

The problem that I'm encountering is knowing which vertices on the fsaverage anatomical surface correspond to the 10242 vertices in the functional .stc data. Mne_analyze reports an anatomical vertex number based on the fsaverage surface from 1 to ~125,000, while the functional data has only 10242 vertices.

Example: If I load the .stc file into mne_analyze on the fsaverage brain, then see some activation, I want to go back now and know to which of the 10242 time courses it relates. 

So what I'm looking for is the mapping between the 10242 functional vertices in my .stc file and the anatomical vertices on the fsaverage surface.

I hope this makes my question more clear.

Best,
Tim.

Hi Tim,

There is vertices field inside stc structure if you open it in Matlab.
Just add 1 to it, it will correspond to vertices on fsaverage brain.


stc = mne_read_stc_file(stcfile);
fsAverageVertices=1+squeeze(stc.vertices(:,1));



Regards

Sheraz
