Thanks. My colours don't seem to correspond very well though - ie i see red in dorsal occipital cortex when it should be blue, reversing doesn't help. (And btw if freesurfer only uses 3 colours for polar presumably there will be no difference for right and left hemispheres?).
Could the creation of 'polar' be going wrong because the fieldsign creation didn't work? I have made an occipital patch so that can't be the problem. when i run: tksurfer -dorothy rh inflated -tcl mk-fieldsign.tcl i get errors like '% can't read "name": no such variable% and 'can't read "env(MRI_DIR)": no such variable% i have previously run 'source Setupfreesurfer so i don't know why this is happening. thanks for your help Jane Re: [Freesurfer] retinotopy and FsFast Stephanie McMains Thu, 24 Nov 2005 11:51:14 -0800 The eccen should go fovea=red, parafoveal=blue, and periphery = green. If they aren't going in that order, reverse the overlay. the polar angle should be, blue for horizontal meridian, green for lower visual field and red for upper visual field. Making the fs map will also fail if you don't have a occipital patch made. Thought that might be your trouble.....
