Indeed why use the orig surfaces? They are missing a lot of corrections and improvements.

Or, why can't you use the usual FS machinery (i.e., through 'fsaverage')? If you indeed need to start from the FS ?h.orig surfaces, then this is indeed more appropriate for the FS list. Note that I think that FS's 'make_average_subject' just creates average surfaces for your particular group of subjects. I don't think what you are attempting actually changes the registration, since you are not changing the sphere.reg files. (To do that is much more complicated). cheers, -MH -- Michael Harms, Ph.D. ----------------------------------------------------------- Conte Center for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders Washington University School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry, Box 8134 660 South Euclid Ave. Tel: 314-747-6173 St. Louis, MO 63110 Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> From: <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of John Griffiths <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Saturday, February 6, 2016 at 11:33 AM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [HCP-Users] vertex-wise correspondences across subjects Dear hcp peeps, Could you please help me with the following analysis workflow: I am doing an analysis with HCP data where I identify patterns on the ?h.orig surfaces. What I want to do now is to resample these patterns over vertices, such that I have vertex-wise correspondence across subjects. I believe this essentially requires the construction of and projection to a group template (although I'm aware this could be done with e.g. fsaverage). Here is where I'm at: cd(freesurfer dir) 1. Read ?h.orig surfaces; compute patterns (...some in-house stuff...) 2. Write patterns out to .mgh file matlab: save_mgh(pattern,outfile,eye(4)); ...and/or python: nibabel.MGHImage(pattern[:,numpy.newaxis,numpy.newaxis].astype(np.float32),numpy.eye(4)).to_filename(outfile) 3. Generate group template make_average_subject --out avgsub --sd <fs dir> -subjects subj1 subj2 subj3... Then for each subject: 4. Register to the new group template mris_register -curv subj1/surf/lh.sphere avgsub/lh.reg.template.tif subj1/surf/lh.sphere.reg.avgsub 5. Project the surface patterns identified in 1. and 2. above on to the new group template, so that the vertex values correspond across subjects, and can be averaged, statistically compared. etc. mri_surf2surf --srcsubject subj1 --srcsurfreg sphere.reg.avg_sub --trgsubject avg_sub --trgsurfreg sphere.reg --hemi lh --sval <pattern mgh file> --tval /tmp/test_avgsub.mgh However this breaks down at mri_surf2surf, and I'm not particularly confident that the earlier parts are exactly right either. Could you please show me what commands I should be using for the aims as described above? Many thanks, John (p.s. yes this is a cross-post from freesurfer list; but got no response from there, and it is regarding analysis of HCP data, so didn't seem to heinous) -- Dr. John Griffiths Post-Doctoral Research Fellow Rotman Research Institute, Baycrest Toronto, Canada and Honorary Associate School of Physics University of Sydney _______________________________________________ HCP-Users mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.humanconnectome.org/mailman/listinfo/hcp-users ________________________________ The materials in this message are private and may contain Protected Healthcare Information or other information of a sensitive nature.
