Hi Katie
if you set the vertex numbers to -1 then tksurfer will search for the
closest vertex to each point and fill them in. So start with a list of
tal points (and -1 for the vertex), then use mri_label2label to map them to
the individual subject space and visualize it in tkmedit or freeview to
make sure it is right. Then load it into tksurfer, which will assign vertex
#s to each point, after which you can save the label again to make them
permanent.

Hi Bruce,
So my understanding of the label file is that it has a list of the # of
vertices in the label, then each line is the vertex number followed by the
RAS coordinates and then some 5th column. I think you are saying that I
could use my text file of talairach coordinates (with each line as a new
coordinate) like a label file for the talairach brain (is this different
from the fsaverage brain?). However, I'm not exactly how to create that
sort of file from a list of talairach points since I don't have the vertex
number for each coordinate. Am I misunderstanding something?
Is there someway to do some sort of scripting where I create a label from
the vertex selected by select_talairach_point using the first talairach
point I have and then repeatedly use select_talairach point to load each
talairach point onto a subject, then add that point to the label file? I
don't quite understand all the tcl commands to understand if this is
possible.
In then end, our issue is that we seem to be getting different results
between freesurfer and brain voyager from identical data analyzed in a ROI
defined off of identical data in identical subjects (ie. we take data set 1,
define a ROI in FS and BV, then take data set 2, analyzed the response in
the ROI, and get different results). We aren't sure why we are getting
different results and so wanted to check on where the ROIs were located in
relation to each other. Since there doesn't seem to be a way to load BV
ROIs into FS, we were trying to work around it by using what we can get out
of BV that should be transferrable, the talairach coordinates).
Unfortunately, we have to cross platforms like this because historically
the data has been done in BV and has produced consistent, published results,
but we need to use FS's retinotopic analysis capabilities for future work,
but aren't getting the same results on these ROIs and can't figure out why,
or even begin to understand it until we can examine whether we are in the
same brain space for our ROIs.
Thanks,
Katie

Hi Katie
you might be able to create a label file with the tal coords,
then use mri_label2label to map it from tal to the individual
subject, then load it in tksurfer which will map it to the
surface. It will probably look spotty though.

I'm still trying to figure out a way to display an
ROI made elsewhere on my
freesurfer data. I can get all ROI I need in
freesurfer in talairach points
(ie. a list of talairach points that cover the
entirety of the ROI space),
but as far as I can see, I can only load one
talairach point at a time
(using select_talairach_point), and then the last
point is lost with each
subsequent call.
What I really want to do is select a region on the
surface that covers a set
of talairach coordinates (instead of say, dilating
from 1 talairach point).
Is there any way to do this? Should I use
something like the talairach
transform file to change it into surface coordinates
and load those like a
label somehow, or is there some other way?
