Dear Doug, Thanks for your comments. However, I am worried about the different number of voxels within each parcellation between subjects, if extracting fmri time course from individual parcellation result.
Also, I am using the following combined commands to carry out the steps. Do you think it's correct? reg-feat2anat --feat SUBID/bold.feat --subject SUBID aseg2feat --feat SUBID/bold.feat --aseg aparcs+aseg mri_segstats --seg SUBID/bold.feat/reg/freesurfer/aparc.a2009s+aseg.nii.gz --in filtered_fun_data.nii.gz -avgwf file.dat Thanks, Liang 2010/7/18 Doug Greve <gr...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> > > definitely use the individuals.
