Dear Freesurfer experts,

I'd appreciate any of your comments a lot!

I'm trying to extract BOLD signals from subfields of hippocampus but
somehow I find resolution/size mismatch such that the assigned voxel number
of subfield hippocampus is greater than voxel numbers of whole brain BOLD
data.

I initially processed data using freesurfer version 5.3.0. but then
recently created subfields of hippocampus using version 6.0 due to
reviewer's request for additional analysis for hippocampus.

Below are the steps that I tried.

(1) creating subfields of hippocampus

recon-all -s subjectID -hippocampal-subfileds-T1

mri_extract_label lh.hippoSfLabels-T1.v10.FSvoxelSpace.mgz 206 leftCA1.mgz
mri_extract_label rh.hippoSfLabels-T1.v10.FSvoxelSpace.mgz 206 rightCA1.mgz

mris_calc -o CA1.mgz leftCA1.mgz add rightCA1.mgz

mri_convert CA1.mgz CA1.nii.gz
mri_convert CA1.nii.gz $DATA_DIR/$SUBJECT/roimask/CA1.nii

(2) extracting BOLD from subfield ROI using matlab code

% get roi mask
roi = MRIread([homeDir epiDir subject '/' roiDir rois{ROI} '.nii']);
roimask = find(fast_vol2mat(roi)>0);
Nvoxel = length(roimask);

% loading BOLD data from run
data = [];
for RUN = 1
  % read data from motion-corrected data
   f = MRIread([homeDir spider subject '/' boldDir dirs(RUN).name '/'
boldFile '.nii']);
   fmat = fast_vol2mat(f);
   [numTR numVoxelAll] = size(fmat);
   data(:,:,:,RUN) = fmat(:,roimask)';
end

Below is the error:

Nvoxel(length of roimask) for CA1 is 1385 and for example, roimask(1) is
7576977 meaning that its voxel number is assigned to 7576977.
Then size(fmat) = 150 175232.
So fmat(:, roimask(1)) which is again fmat(:, 7576977) gives me an error
that index exceeds matrix dimensions....

Why does it happen?

Please help me extract the BOLD signals from subfields of hippocampus!

Thanks for your help in advance.

Best,
Ji Won
