Hi Doug,

A follow-up. I've gone back and re-done the registration using nifti file with the ICA20 maps. I noticed in tkregister2 that when I press on the TARGET tab there is extremely good alignment ( i think it is to 'orig.mgz' in the mri folder of my subject which I had processed using recon-all. While, when I switch to the 'moveable' tab the green line seems to be slightly offset, but the underlying image is very fuzzy too. Is this an issue?
I don't know without seeing it. The mov is often lower resolution, so some fuzziness is expected.

Also, when I load the surface image in freeview produced by mri_vol2surf nothing seems to show up, even when I use the registration file. In fact, if I have other volumes loaded it causes freeview to segfault. When I do manage to load it successfully with the anatomical template in talairach space, it doesn't really show up and it seems that the anatomical template is really small and I have to zoom in a lot. Maybe I didn't process/register?
Can you be more specific? What are your vol2surf and fv command lines? Have you tried it in tksurfer?


Thanks again.

    Dear Doug,

    I've managed to get functional information onto the cortical
    surface following your instructions.
     But, there's a few issues that are still not resolved:

    1/ wrt to registration I believe the supplied anatomical template
    (in tailarach coords) is already aligned with the ica maps (which
    come from one individual). However, when I run mri_vol2surf I need
    a registration.dat file so in such a situation is the registration
    data from the anatomical template sufficient?

If the ica maps are in voxel-for-voxel alignment with the template then yes (i,e they must have the same dimension and voxel size)


    2/ the nifti file for functional data actually contains 20 ICA
    components. After I ran mri_vol2surf how do I view each component
    independently? Currently it seems to only show one particular ICA
    component in freeview.

Bring up the overlay configuration window. You can control the frame/time point from there.


    3/ using mri_vol2surf if I want .nii output do I specify thus:
    '--out_type nii' ? (i did this and it seemed to have worked, but
    just wanted to double check).

You can just specify the output file with a .nii extension

    Thanks!
