I'm not sure what you mean. When the sphere.reg is registered across subjects, it is sufficient to register the wm surfaces. doug Matt Glasser wrote: Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to apply the default surface based registration that is done during recon-all to surfaces other

Hi Doug, Thanks for your response. How does one go about getting registered white matter surfaces then? I would like all of the surfaces to be registered so that they have the same number of nodes in the same places across subjects. Thanks, Matt. -Original Message- From: Douglas N

Oh, that's not such an easy thing to do. We can only map values from one subject to another. I know what you are describing, and it would be nice to have. I'm not sure how possible it is as the density of the nodes changes from subject to subject at various locations in order to reflect the

Hi Matt, you could use mri_surf2surf to map the fsaverage surface to any subject. We always avoid doing this as we want uniform sampling in the subject's space, and were willing to make the engineering more difficult to preserve this. cheers Bruce On Tue, 2 Mar 2010, Douglas N Greve wrote:

Hi Doug and Bruce, I am somewhat surprised by your responses, given that we do what I need done with Caret all the time. I wonder if I am not explaining myself clearly or not understanding your responses (Donna, perhaps you can help?). In Caret, one does a landmark-based registration of the

Matt, I think we just do things differently. We adopted Ziad Saad's concept of a standard mesh. (Before Ziad conceived it, we didn't do this, either.) But not everyone does this. My mental model of how others do things is poor. I recall using mrisp_paint to get some scalars on our PALS

Thanks Donna for the explanation of my confusion. I am wondering if there is any way I could make use of the Freesurfer registration and then get things into Caret where I could do what I want? For example, is there any way, given a registered and unregistered sphere of a given subject that we

Hi Matt, I think that is all doable using mri_vol2surf, mri_surf2surf and mri_surf2vol. The deformation fields all live on the surface of the sphere, so there is no volumetric deformation to apply. It's also all subject to atlas. You could pick an individual subject and compose forward and
