It will be in an FS native coordinate system which is not interpretable by other software. What you can do is to run mris_convert with the --to-scanner option to have it save the coordinates in scanner space. If your version does not have the --to-scanner option, then get the version below ft

Hi Ray I would assume that they are in "tkras" space, which is still "native" but is not voxel coords. cheers Bruce On Tue, 3 Nov 2015, Razlighi, Qolamreza R. wrote: Thanks Bruce, I read in another post that these coordinates in ascii file are in native space. So if I load the original v

Thanks Bruce, I read in another post that these coordinates in ascii file are in native space. So if I load the original volume in another visualization tool (e.g. fslview), these coordinates should be right on the border of white/gray matter. Is that correct? I already checked couple of them bu

Hi Ray the ascii format is pretty barebones and doesn't have e.g. ras2vox info that freeview uses to display the surfaces properly. It's for ease of conversion and such. cheers Bruce On Mon, 2 Nov 2015, Razlighi, Qolamreza R. wrote: > Hi Guys, > Why converting a surface to .asc format change
