Hi Jared
I think mris_calc does at least some of what you want.

Hi all,
Is there an equivalent of fslmaths in Freesurfer? I would like to
add two scalar value images (.mgh
files) that are registered to the fsaverage6 surface but I’m not
seeing an obvious way to do it.
Right now I’m reading the images into Matlab to add them, but this is
a bit inconvenient because
what I would like to do is smooth an image by a small amount, add the
original image back to it,
then smooth again marginally and iterate until I get to a target
fwhm. Since I can’t smooth inside
Matlab this necessitates writing out a temp image for each smoothing
step then reading it back into
Matlab for the adding. Obviously this is a solvable problem, but as
someone only marginally
proficient in Matlab it’s something I’d like to avoid, plus it seems
like a lot of I/O for this
task.
A little more detail on my data and what I’m trying to do:
The scalar images I’m working with are network confidence maps,
basically like the spatial maps from
an ICA dual-regression. I want to combine the confidence maps
together into a hard partition and
write it to an annot file, but I want to smooth them first. I’m
concerned, however, that smoothing
is going to bias the parcellation against small network parcels and
in favor of large network
parcels because in each confidence map the small parcels will be
surrounded by lots of zeros (does
this make sense?). To correct for this, my idea was to iteratively
smooth by small amounts and to
add the original confidence values (or some fraction of them) back to
the smoothed map after each
iteration so that regions of high confidence with a small/narrow
spatial spread do not become
diluted by the smoothing and don’t get taken over by larger high
confidence regions in nearby
networks.
One final question would be how to smooth on a surface without
resampling. Right now I’m using
mri_surf2surf and smoothing when I resample to the native mesh, but
if I take the above approach I
would not want to resample at each smoothing step. Could I just use
mri_surf2surf with –srcsubject
and –trgsubject pointing to the same subject?
Thanks,
Jared
