Hi Bruce, I am also a PhD student at the Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory, School of Psychology, Flinders University. I am an active user of Freesurfer, and have successfully generated about 10 cortical surface models so far. I will soon be generating approximately 30 cortical surface models once data collection for my PhD work is completed. Darren and I are the only people using Freesurfer at the moment.
I am in the process of drafting an fMRI paper which will show activations on the expanded cortical surface model. We will certainly cite the academic methods papers that you have referred to below. I will let you know of the outcome. Also, we presented a poster at ISMRM 2001 which showed some of these fMRI results on the expanded cortical surface. The ref is as follows: Moores, K.A., Clark, C.R., Brown, G., Taylor, J., Lewis, A., Puce, A. and McFarlane, A.C. (2001) Distinguishing executive operations from content representation during working memory function. Proc. Intl . Soc. Magn. Res. Med., 9, 1283. Unfortunately I did not cite the Freesurfer methods papers, although I did refer to using Freesurfer in the text. So my apologies for that, and as I say in future we will certainly site the papers referred to below.
