External Email - Use Caution        

Dear list

I am working on a project in which we want to extract hippocampal surfaces
using mri_tessellate and then overlay these surfaces with fmri activations
from nifti files using mri_vol2surf. However, I am unclear whether
mri_vol2surf can be used for surfaces derived from subcortical structures
like the hippocampus. Crucially, these structures are unlike the cortex in
that they have a closed shape and therefore the projection of activation to
a surface may be more complex than in the case of cortex (which surface
normal should one take?). So I guess my question is whether mri_vol2surf
works for these kinds of surfaces or whether some other approach should be
used. Thanks!

Niels
