Dear Freesurfers, In an effort to figure out why my field sign data is a bunch of blue/red speckles, I looked at the polar and eccentricity maps separately on the surface. In both maps, I found that the values range from 0 to approximately 65. Does that seem to be OK, and if so, what do

Hi Michelle, I don't think you are looking at the angle. The eccen angle should go from 0-2pi. The polar angle should go from -pi to +pi. What is you visualization command-line? You can change the color scale from the View-Configure-Overlay window. doug Michelle Umali wrote: Dear Freesurfers,
