Hi Matt,

yes I mean homotopic connections.
The individual dense connectivity map in the image you sent is not
available from the HCP DB, am I wrong?
Was this computed from dense timeseries ICA-FIX as provided online using
the wb_command -cifti-correlation? Does it add global signal regression to
get the negative parts?

Maybe the way I extract the signal from cortical ROIS is wrong, but I
heavily rely on the cifti header to determine which rows belong to each
ROIs so I used the "brain models" to get the IndexOffset and IndexCount of
the different brain models, then used the
??????.?.aparc.a2009s.32k_fs_LR.label.gii to get the ROIs in the surface
brain models using only the vertices listed in the CIFTI_STRUCTURE_CORTEX_*
brain model NodeIndices xml element (which certainly exclude the filled
holes in surface and fs medial wall ROI).
for instance in the 101915 first scan LR , there are the following brain
models:

model type            structure
                              index    count
CIFTI_MODEL_TYPE_SURFACE      CIFTI_STRUCTURE_CORTEX_LEFT        0    29696

but the problem might be in the mapping of ROIs from the aparc.a2009s+aseg
gifti files.

Sorry if it is not clear but I had to reverse engineer the stuff so I may
have done it wrong and it might not be possible to do it without some prior
hidden in the workbench.

Thanks for you insight on this.
