Dear FS users,

I’m trying to get surface indices from surfaces generated with recon-all into a 
volume in native functional/EPI space. I’m using mri_surf2vol for that, though 
if there is a better alternative solution, I’m happy to take it.

My issue is that the output index volume (vtxvol) I get from mri_surf2vol does 
not seem to ever be properly aligned/registered with the target space.

Here's the command I run (I'm interesting in vtxvol.nii.gz)

mri_surf2vol  --reg anat2epi.dat  --hemi lh --vtxvol vtxvol.nii.gz --fillribbon 
--outvol foo.nii.gz --template epi.nii.gz --mkmask

Upon further investigation, I learn I can’t get the projection to work properly 
even if I try projecting the surface onto the native anatomical space. As in:

mri_surf2vol  --hemi lh --vtxvol vtxvol.nii.gz --fillribbon --outvol foo.nii.gz 
--template ../mri/orig.mgz --mkmask --identity sub-01

Given the output vtxvol doesn't even have the same dimensions as the template 
specified in the command line, it makes me think I’m doing something wrong:

> nib-ls vtxvol.nii.gz ../mri/orig.mgz
vtxvol.nii.gz   float32 [320, 320, 320] 1.00x1.00x1.00   sform
../mri/orig.mgz  uint8  [320, 320, 320] 0.75x0.75x0.75

What is the proper way to get vertex indices in EPI space?

Thank you,

Daniel
