Hi,
Thank you both for your suggestions--I'll give them a try. Per Donna's
suggestion I've also uploaded my files, as ECraftDataset_11-10-2005.tar.gz
(includes both the uncut and cut surfaces).

I never considered using SureFit, because (unfortunately) I only have
histological sections--no MRI data. I got the impression from Tutorial 9
(Caret4.6 Documentation) that it wouldn't be a problem to flatten a surface
reconstructed from traced contours, though. Was the "Draw Cuts" feature
supposed to label the cut face? Any idea why it was sampling the cuts I drew
so sparsely?

I was aiming for a flatmap because I want to reconstruct a partial
visuotopic map (by pairing electrode recording positions in the histological
sections with their associated receptive field positions) and make some
cortical distance measurements. I'm hoping my small portion of cortex is
topologically well-behaved enough to flatten without "too much" distortion.
