External Email - Use Caution        

Hi Tim,

My knowledge on file format isn’t brilliant. What I would like to do is compare 
the spatial overlap between ROIs, which I have been doing in the volume using 
fslcc. This runs cross correlations between two NIFTI files. However, I 
wondered if Freesurfer have the facility to do these comparisons on the 
surface. For example, cross correlating an ICA component and a probabilistic 
atlas to check the spatial overlap. How I thought I would do this is to get 
each atlas ROI into different label files, and then use some form of freesurfer 
command to cross correlate the ICA component to each of the atlas regions and 
check which is the best "match".

Any tips on how to do this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mason

    What would you expect to be in that NIFTI file?

    A vector of integers of length the number of surface vertices, in which a 
value of 0 means "is not part of label" and a value of 1 means "is part of 
label"?

    Or just the indices of the vertices which are part of the label?

    What software should be able to read the file?

mri_cor2label works great for getting each roi into a label format, but I would 
also like them each in a .nii.gz format. Do you have any suggestions for this?

Just be careful about the one-based indexing in matlab. That is, if your ROI is 
in a label file and you read the vertex indices from it, you need to add 1 to 
the index that point into the overlay.

file and you want to split them into separate files? You might be able to 
convert the mgh/mgz file to nii and use FSL tools and then convert them back 
(sometimes works, sometimes not)
