[Freesurfer] Regenerating Pial Surfaces

Hi FreeSurfers, I have gone through correcting pial surfaces for one subject, and ran the script to regenerate the surfaces: recon-all -autorecon-pial -subjid 1 After running without error, it appears the pial surfaces have not changed at all. Does FS overwrite the previous lh.pial and rh.pial

Hi! You probably mean mris_expand which creates a surf inside or outside of white, e.g. mris_expand surf/lh.white -1 surf/lh.white_1mm_inside # use positive values for outside ?h.white border mris_expand -thickness surf/lh.white -1 surf/lh.white_in100%_thickness # this samples in % of GM thick

You need a program whose name I can't remember. Bruce, what is the name of the program to create a surface midway between white and pial? Don, you can use this to create the mid surface (or project it to any depth) and to create a surface that is just inside the WM (use a negative projection d

Thanks for posting back so quickly and for the clarifications. What I am looking for is a list of vectors which are in the gray matter and a 2nd list that are inside the nearby white matter. It sounds like the "white" are inside the white matter but near the boundary with the gray. Is it reasona

mri_annotation2label enables extraction of vectors from .annot files to .label files, one file per label. One may choose orig, white, or pial vectors. (1)orig vectors are on the cortical surface. The gray scale value for each of these is that of gray matter, correct? And these are inside

If you use a different target, then it will not overwrite the output of previous runs but names the files differently based on the new target name. In the qdec interface, you should change the name of the "Common-space Subject" doug On 08/13/2014 10:12 AM, Vy Dinh wrote: > Dear developers, >
