Many thanks for the answers @Timothy I know that probtrackx2 support surfaces but I did not manage to make it work without hectic results (fiber crossing the surfaces used as stop, combinatorial counting of endpoints ... ), even if FSL seems the most able to process multi-shell data.
@Donna I already tried the caret_command method but got stuck to converting the gifti scalars to a metric/paint format, I will give it a try with the command you mentioned, but still this implies a lot of conversion steps. However I wrote a python function that for each voxel in the cortical ribbon finds the closest vertex on the surface and assigns the latter's label,. The voxels which are close to the surface (white) should be properly assigned the right label which is ok for me as I am using this as target for tractography.
