Regarding matlab:

Currently, I have in freesurfer the surface extracted via recon-all. I also 
have the overlay from running mri_vol2surf on the ICA components. 

I would like to export the pial surface + overlay into matlab together as a 
single object. Is there a matlab script for this, or do I need to do some 
further processing? Thanks.
