Hi Douglas,
thanks for the tip - as a new FS user I didn't mastered tkmedit yet,
so it's good to know that this viewer supports MNI->orig
transformation automatically.
In v6, tkmedit-sess actually calls freeview, and tkmedit-sess will apply
all the necessary transforms, so you should not need to do anything once
the image comes up
I understand it's unusual to perform a single subject fMRI in
freesurfer. It's just that we came across a very interesting case
study of pure alexia, in which presenting fMRI results in patient
space is crucial for further interpretation. I thought of re-runing
the analyses in subject space (as You suggested), and probably will
end up doing so. Just for the record and expanding my FS skills, I
would very much liked to know - where is my mistake in the process of
transforming the 'sig.nii.gz' volumes from MNI to orig space. I
suppose that's an issue I may came across in future as well (even if
with different files/spaces). So - any help in that matter is still
very much appreciated!
It is a little tricky, but if you look in tkmedit-sess you will find the
code that creates the matrix and applies the transform
And also, even though not designed for the purpose of case studies, I
have to admit - Freesurfer is so incredible! I processed this very
same subject through SPM's fMRI stream, and didn't got even partly as
conclusive and precise statistical maps. I've become a huge fan of
surface-based analyses :) You're doing amazing job with developing
this software!
Glad to have another happy customer!
Best regards,
Patrycja

If you just want to view the result on the native anatomy, you can use
tkmedit-sess with the -self option. You can do the same thing with
tksurfer-sess to view the surface-based data on the subject's own
surface instead of fsaverage. If this is something you want to do in
general, you can analyze directly in the subject's space (most people
are doing group analysis, so this does not make sense in general)
