Hi Tim,
Thank you so much for the prompt reply. So actually I have both volume preprocessed and surface preprocessed data using HCP v3.4.0 scripts. I took the resting images from the volume preprocessed dataset because I wanted to apply some denoising, regressing first before pushing them through cifti-parcellate. Would you rather recommend I take the surface preprocessed data and apply denoising there?

The various -cifti-create commands do not do this mapping, they are simply data conversion. You also need to nonlinear register to MNI (for subcortical signal). The <label-volume> is specifically to define the structures to represent as voxels in the resulting dtseries file, which is why it says this about <label-volume> lower in the help: The label volume should have some of the label names from this list, all other label names will be ignored: CORTEX_LEFT CORTEX_RIGHT CEREBELLUM ACCUMBENS_LEFT ACCUMBENS_RIGHT ... While that shows that it is possible to represent cortex as voxels in the cifti format, note that it is not recommended, and that it is not what HCP cifti files do (so you will have a very hard time using the HCP parcellation unless you map your subject timeseries data to the surface). The label volume for subcortical signal we use for HCP data exists in the pipelines repository, the Atlas_ROIs.2.nii.gz file here: https://github.com/Washington-University/Pipelines/tree/master/global/templates/91282_Greyordinates The full process we use is fairly involved, and the HCP Pipelines (https://github.com/Washington-University/Pipelines) are the easiest way to do it, when you have data matching our acquisition recommendations. Even if your acquisitions don't entirely meet our recommendations, many of the pipeline scripts can still be used to make the process easier.

As in the syntax "wb_command -cifti-create-dense-timeseries {output}.dtseries.nii -volume {input}.nii.gz <label-volume>" 2) Where can I find the most up-to-date dtseries.nii file from HCP to use for the parcellation? I would appreciate your help.
