Dear Freesurfer experts,
I am going to convert the preprocessed surface functional data to volume in
fsaverage space so that I can used the processed data in SPM for further
analysis, for example, beta series analysis. I tried mri_surf2vol, it worked.
But it is time consuming. It takes around 5 minutes per 10 volumes. In
addition, the result volume is too big (67MB/ volume for 256*256*256 matrix,
1mm resolution). My data contains about 70800 brain volumes, so the needed
time is about 40days and the storage space is about 7TB , which is
unacceptable. The code is as follows:
mri_surf2vol --o ${Dir_Subj_fMRI}/$isub/bold/${irun}/Ribbon/${iVolume}
--subject fsaverage --so ${SUBJECTS_DIR}/fsaverage/surf/lh.white
${Dir_Subj_fMRI}/$isub/bold/${irun}/LH/${iVolume} --so
${SUBJECTS_DIR}/fsaverage/surf/rh.white
${Dir_Subj_fMRI}/$isub/bold/${irun}/RH/${iVolume}
Are there methods with faster speed and outputing volumes with lower resolution?
Best,
Zhiwei _______________________________________________
