Hi Doug and Matti,

I am using mri_surfcluster to threshold and extract ROIs from MEG/EEG
source analysis data. The same code used to work fine in Jan 2009, but now
I am running into unexpected errors. I wonder if something happened along
the way of FreeSurfer and/or MNE stream upgrades and now mne_analyze .w
files and mri_surfcluster no longer talk to each other.

I first run the usual MEG/EEG analysis using the MNE stream and then save
the resulting dSPM map on the surface of the subject as a .w file (using
the mne_analyze GUI). For sanity check, I download the overlay in tksurfer
and observe that it looks fine (which makes me think that the problem
originates at the mri_surfcluster side rather than at mne_analyze;
however, see below for evidence suggesting the opposite).

ERROR: could not read AVL_GA_List1-00150.0-lh.w as type

If I try to convert .w to .mgz I get the error

mri_convert AVL_GA_List1-00150.0-lh.w AVL_GA_List1-00150.0-lh.mgz

file not found or unknown file type for file AVL_GA_List1-00150.0-lh.w

(which makes me think that perhaps the .w file from mne_analyze is
incompatible with much of FreeSurfer 5.1 code)

Any suggestions? As always, thank you for the advice in advance!

Best regards,

Tommi
