Amit, The answer to your question does depend a lot on whether you need the left and right hemisphere surfaces truly side-by-side in the same Caret window. If that is the case, then the links Donna pointed to are the preferred way to go. However, for many purposes, it is advantageous to

Andrew, To amplify on what Donna said about the Caret process. The closest that Caret software and atlases come to providing uniform resampling is through the use of our 'standard-mesh', 73,730-node spherical mesh: http://sumsdb.wustl.edu/sums/archivelist.do?archive_id=6362810&archive_name

Hi Alireza, One more option to add to Donna's good summary. You can use Attributes: Metric: Convert Metric to RGB Paint. This brings up a reasonably self-explanatory popup window that allows you to assign one metric columns to the 'R' channel, another to the 'G' channel, and a third to t

YSL, Most of the foci at issue are in the cerebellum, which is not in view in your main window. If you project all foci to the 'PC-CC' (PALS- Cerebral, Colin-Cerebellar) atlas, then you will be able to see the cerebellar foci in relation to the cerebellar cortical surface. One focus does ap
