Hi Ali, I actually don't think it's too tough. Assuming you have already got the EPI registered appropriately to the anatomy the surface was generated from, you can just map the volume to the surface using Map Volume to Surface under Attributes, or using caret_command -volume-map-to-surface. In my experience, if you use caret_command, it works best if you split the volume into individual volumes for each timepoint before mapping. Once you've done the mapping you should have metric columns that can be loaded into Caret which you can then view sequentially by scrolling through them in Overlay/Underlay Surface (D/C) or animate under Metric Miscellaneous (D/C) options.

Strictly speaking, yes, but practically speaking, this is rarely done. The EPI must be volume registered to the anatomical used to generate the surface. Depending on how the surface was generated, some surface translations/flips might be necessary to align the surface with the volume. Typically, statistical output maps are overlaid on the surface (e.g., activity doing task A over baseline) -- not raw EPI. But there are methods for animating the rendering of metric columns, if they are captured at different timepoints. I have not done it, but others have done so. No promises on how easy it is. > Hi, > I couldn't find this in the documentation and among the tutorials so > I'm giving this a shot here.
