Dear List,

I am trying to do some postprocessing on myelin and thickness maps (164k 
versions) contained in the MNINonLinear Directory of the Structural 
dataset (e.g. ${subject}.corrThickness_MSMAll.164k_fs_LR.dscalar.nii and 
${subject}.MyelinMap_BC_MSMAll.164k_fs_LR.dscalar.nii).

I thought these data would all be in the same atlas space across 
subjects, hence I was expecting to find the same vertex coordinates for 
all subjects. Instead, when reading the data into matlab ( 
'ft_cifti_read' and gifti') every subject seems to have their own 
distinct vertex locations. Also, the spherical gifti surfaces appear to 
be sampled at different coordinates across subjects.

Can I assume that, nonetheless, anatomical correspondence is preserved 
across subjects? Could I, for example, take the vertex locations from 
${subject}.R.sphere.164k_fs_LR.surf.gii, associate the scalar values in 
${subject}.MyelinMap_BC_MSMAll.164k_fs_LR.dscalar.nii to each vertex, 
interpolate on the sphere and assume that I can superimpose the results 
of this procedure across subjects?

Thanks very much in advance!

Nicola
