Indeed this is somewhat confusing: the task fMRI beta maps (actually it is Z 
maps that are currently mostly prominently released and any beta maps currently 
available have an issue with the bias field) are grey matter measures but 
FA/MD/AD are generally white matter measures.  There are T1w/T2w grey matter 
myelin maps that are already in CIFTI space, perhaps this is what you are 
after?  Alternatively, if you wanted the FA/MD/AD along white matter tracts 
that connect two greymatter regions that might make sense too (this could be 
done by computing the tractography from the cortical surface and to the 
cortical surface through the white matter, thresholding the tract to make a 
volume mask, and computing the mean white matter measures inside the mask.

Peace,

Matt.

That was meant to say "take the part of your measures that is in grey matter".

So, you can make cifti files that contain white matter, but they won't match up 
to our grey matter cifti files.  If you want to take the past of your measures 
that is in grey matter and put that into cifti, you first need to use 
-volume-to-surface-mapping for both hemispheres, then you can use 
-cifti-create-dense-from-template or similar.

Hi - so you have estimated in FA, MD, etc in grey matter?
Note that CIFTI doesn't cover white matter.
Cheers.

Hi,

I would like to convert FA/MD/AD/etc. images which I calculated in T1w space, 
into CIFTI's, in order to correlate/overlay them with e.g. beta-maps from 
functional tasks.

What is the best way to do this?

Thanks for your help,
Best,
Georg

P.s.: So far I used 'wb_command -cifti-convert -from-nifti <nifti in> <template 
cifti> <cifti out>'; however opening the resulting image in wb_view doesn't 
display anything.
(Prior to using the command I transformed the DTI images into MNInonlinear 
space - by registering them to the T1 in the MNInonlinear folder and then 
warping the images)
