Without having an actual GM/WM surface to use as a mapping substrate, any 
solution will be sub-optimal.  If you can get a white surface, then map to it.

Otherwise, here are some ideas:

* Use either gaussian or MCWBrainfish as your mapping algorithm, instead of 
enclosing/interpolated voxel:

* Use Surface: Geometry: Expand or shrink surface.

How will a reviewer tolerate these options?  No guarantees.

 so that it can be closer/more distant to the GM/WM interface without 
segmenting it again, so that the fiducial surface will intersect with my 
cortical parcellation without the need for dilation process? Is there any other 
solution, in your opinion, will solve this issue?
