hello,
I want to map a fMRI volume created with FLS onto a simplified version of the 
PALS surface.
I tried to map it with "map to atlas" and then reduce the number of the nodes 
in the mesh, but that doesn't work.

Will it be OK if I choose "map to caret" and use the simplified mesh? Or do I 
really need to use "map tu atlas" to obtain the best fit between FSL data and 
the caret mesh?

Thanks all
AC
