You really do need to map to atlas or directly to either/both of these 
files in the Caret distribution:

data_files/fmri_mapping_files/Human.PALS_B12.LEFT_AVG_B1-12.FIDUCIAL_FLIRT.clean.73730.coord
data_files/fmri_mapping_files/Human.PALS_B12.RIGHT_AVG_B1-12.FIDUCIAL_FLIRT.clean.73730.coord

But then it seems like it should be possible to downsample to one of 
these simpler spheres in the distribution:

./data_files/CONSTRUCT.SPHERE/sphere.0.coord
./data_files/CONSTRUCT.SPHERE/sphere.1.coord
./data_files/CONSTRUCT.SPHERE/sphere.2.coord
./data_files/CONSTRUCT.SPHERE/sphere.3.coord
./data_files/CONSTRUCT.SPHERE/sphere.4.coord
./data_files/CONSTRUCT.SPHERE/sphere.5.coord
./data_files/CONSTRUCT.SPHERE/sphere.6.coord
./data_files/REGISTER.LVD.SPHERE/sphere.1.LVD.74.coord
./data_files/REGISTER.LVD.SPHERE/sphere.2.LVD.290.coord
./data_files/REGISTER.LVD.SPHERE/sphere.3.LVD.1154.coord
./data_files/REGISTER.LVD.SPHERE/sphere.4.LVD.4610.coord
./data_files/REGISTER.LVD.SPHERE/sphere.5.LVD.18434.coord
./data_files/REGISTER.LVD.SPHERE/sphere.6.LVD.73730.coord
./data_files/REGISTER.SPHERE/sphere.0.coord
./data_files/REGISTER.SPHERE/sphere.1.coord
./data_files/REGISTER.SPHERE/sphere.2.coord
./data_files/REGISTER.SPHERE/sphere.3.coord
./data_files/REGISTER.SPHERE/sphere.4.coord
./data_files/REGISTER.SPHERE/sphere.5.coord
./data_files/REGISTER.SPHERE/sphere.6.coord

How exactly to do that, I'm not sure.  John Harwell is on vacation, but 
perhaps David or Matt knows how.
