I've also just modified mri_surf2surf to extract the surface normals at each vertex. You can get the new version from: ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/transfer/outgoing/flat/greve/mri_surf2surf There's an example in the --help on how to run it. doug Bruce Fischl wrote: sure. You can co

sure. You can convert the surface into ascii with mris_convert or load it directly into matlab with read_surf. The normal is then the cross product of two of the legs of each triangle. Sorry, I don't remember the ordering but it should be obvious if you have it wrong. The indices of the vertices

[Freesurfer] GM/WM surface normal direction

Hi, Anywhere in the "surf" directory I can find the normal direction of each node on the GM/WM surface? Or anyway I can calculate the normal direction from the surface files? How about the direction between the correspoding two points on the GM/WM surface and pial surface? Thanks. XJ Kang __
