How do you read it in? If you are using the read_patch.m that we distribute it should be stored in patch.vno if you do:

I don't understand how to recover the vertex index. In Freeview I can see the vertex index number. When I load in the data to MATLAB as discussed - the only thing that I have access to are the coordinates of the vertices - not the vertex index. How can I recover the vertex indices as well? Thanks again. Kind Regards, Ornaith On Tue, 6 Apr 2021 at 19:31, Fischl, Bruce <bfis...@mgh.harvard.edu<mailto:bfis...@mgh.harvard.edu>> wrote: Hi Ornaith The mapping uses the vertex index. That is, the vertex index is stored in the flatmap, so you should always be able to recover it, then look up the location of that vertex on any other surface (of the same hemisphere/subject) Cheers Bruce From: freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu<mailto:freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> <freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu<mailto:freesurfer-boun...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu>> On Behalf Of Ornaith O Reilly Sent: Tuesday, April 6, 2021 2:19 PM To: Freesurfer support list <freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu<mailto:freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu>> Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] Cortical surface analysis External Email - Use Caution Hello FreeSurfer developers, Thanks a lot for your help. I have initialised the pialxyz the way you suggested and made the flatmap in MatLab using the read_patch function (screenshots attached). I still don't understand how to convert between the two. For example how to see what point (x,y,z) on the pial surface corresponds to what (x,y) point on the flatmap. Thanks a lot for your help.

My goal is to be able to visualise electrodes contacts that are on lying on the cortical surface on a flat map and a spherical map. I've run recon-all and created the flatmap. I'm using Matlab to achieve this and I've loaded the information with the lines lhsphere = fs_read_surf('/Applications/freesurfer/7.1.1/subjects/IM-0001/surf/lh.sphere'); lhflatpatch=fs_read_patch('/Applications/freesurfer/7.1.1/subjects/IM-0001/surf/lh.full.flat.patch.3D'); 1. I want to be able to access the coordinates and show the electrons on the flat map/ sphere and I was wondering how to do this? I understand that the vertex ID number is what relates the coordinates in the original image to these surfaces. I am wondering how to access the vertex ID numbers ? At the moment I think that I only have access to the vertex coordinates and the vertex faces. The easiest way to do this is probably to map the white or pial xyz into an mgz file using mri_surf2surf, eg mri_surf2surf --hemi lh --sval-xyz white --tval lh.white.xyz.mgz --s yoursubject You can then get the xyz of a given vertex by reading whitexyz = MRIread('lh.white.xyz.mgz'); 2. Additionally, I was wondering if there is a way to display the surface images through Matlab? What would be the best way to show the surface with the electrons overlaid on it? I know there are ways, but I don't know their details The version of Freesurfer and the platform that I'm using is outlined below: 1) FreeSurfer version: freesurfer-darwin-macOS-7.1.1-20200811-8b40551 2) Platform: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G7024) I really appreciate any help with this as I'm really stuck. Thanks in advance for any help.
