Hi Hiroyuki by default we don't save the surface normals but compute them on the fly. You can however use mris_convert -n to compute and output the surface normals in an ascii format that should be pretty easy to read into matlab. cheers Bruce On Tue, 1 Nov 2011, Oya, Hiroyuki (UI Healt

Hi Michael the ascii file is first: vertex_nx vertex_ny vertex_nz ripflag (usually 0) . . . up to # of vertices. Then, for each face: vertex_0 vertex_1 vertex_2 ripflag cheers Bruce On Thu, 2 Jun 2011, Michael Waskom wrote: > Hi Bruce et al. > > I have a quick question about the interp

[Freesurfer] Surface Normals in Freesurfer

Hi Bruce et al. I have a quick question about the interpretation of surface normal files and the various ways you can create them with Freesurfer. As far as I know, there are two ways to get the normals information: mris_convert -n lh.inflated lh.inflated.normals2 and mri_surf2surf --s fsavera
