Hi Fahimeh you can also give mris_divide_parcellation a "splitfile" :
rst, a splitfile can be specified as the fourth argument. The splitfile is a text file with two columns. The first column is the name of the label in the source annotation, and the second column is the number of units that label should be divided into. The names of the labels depends upon the source parcellation. For aparc.annot and aparc.a2005.annot, the names can be found in $FREESURFER_HOME/FreeSurferColorLUT.txt. For aparc.annot, the labels are between the ranges of 1000-1034. For aparc.a2005s.annot, the labels are between the ranges of 1100-1181. The name for the label is the name of the segmentation without the 'ctx-lh'. Note that the name included in the splitfile does not indicate the hemisphere. For example, 1023 is 'ctx-lh-posteriorcingulate'. You should put 'posteriorcingulate' in the splitfile. Eg, to divide it into three segments, the following line should appear in the splitfile: posteriorcingulate 3 Only labels that should be split need be specified in the splitfile. cheers Bruce On Thu, 6 Oct 2016, Mamashli, Fahimeh wrote: > > Hi, > Thanks for your help.
