Hi Douglas,

Thanks for your reply.

I thought when individual space data is projected onto fsaverage5 space it
get wrapped in a common space, so one vertex would correspond to the same
area across subjects, like in MNI.

I tried to create a group subcortical mask by loading each subject fmri
surface and selecting the vertex with zero-values and adding one to
corresponding element in the 20484 vector .  In percentage, 62 vertices are
non-zero in half or more of the data size, and 106 in 40% or more. In
average, each subject has 120 zero-valued vertices.

If I don't want to account for non-cortical activity in my analysis, do you
consider a good approach to discard this 106 vertices that at least in 40%
of the subjects are non cortical?

Thanks,
Dorothy
