Well the situation is as follows:

I had a polar angle session, of which I only have the labels and the
anatomical (not inflated) left due to a computer crash. In a different
session, I scanned both my main experiment and the eccentricity runs. Since
the eccentricity was in the same session as the main experiment, I included
those runs in my preprocessing batch in SPM, that is I realigned them and
coregistered the data to the anatomical of the polar angle session. I then
inflated the anatomical of this newer session (the one with eccentricity)
and did my analyses of the eccentricity data without using preproc-sess.
Apologies if I wasn't clear.

I thought it should therefore be no problem to overlay the polar angle
labels onto the newly inflated anatomical, since this one was coregistered
to the one from the polar angle session. However the labels don't look
correct. Should I have inflated the 'old' anatomical instead? Or would I
then nevertheless have needed some kind of transformation?

I tried mri_label2label, but when I use a command like this:

mri_label2label --srcsubject P2_BK_test --trgsubject P2_BK --scrlabel
lh_V1_v.label --trglabel lh_V1_v_new.label --regmethod volume

then it requires access to the anatomical in mri/orig from the srcsubject
(the same subject, old session), which I don't have. Well I do have the
.nii anatomical, but it can't read that header either, it probably needs
the .mgz one which I don't have. When I try the command like this:

mri_label2label --s P2_BK --scrlabel lh_V1_v.label --trglabel
lh_V1_v_new.label --regmethod volume

it does create a new label, which however looks exactly the same as the
previous one. When I change --regmethod to surface, it gives this error:
ERROR: there is a vertex in the label that cannot be matched to the
surface. This usually occurs when the label and surface are from different
subjects or hemispheres or the surface has been changed since the label was
created.

I'm not sure about using bbregister for the labels, what would be the
movable volume? And do I then use the register.dat file to load the labels
with? Thanks again for your patience and help.

Best,
Bianca
