Basic visual polar angle mapping analysis in csurf, showing unfolded surface view (incl. a single voxel timecourse), and the corresponding point in a 3D/slice view.

Close-up of a High resolution csurf surface reconstruction showing Heschl's gyrus. A quantitative R1 scan with isotropic 0.8 mm wide voxels was upsampled to 0.5 mm wide voxels and reconstructed using csurf.


Overlap between topological maps (visual=majenta, auditory=blue, somatosensory=green), language activation during reading (yellow), and wordless scene comprehension (white). See:

New csurf area name facility for MGH annotations (short movie here showing how area names transform with brain pose)


Higher quality gradient arrows


Estimated size of cerebellar granule cell patches in humans (see detailed mapping studies of Shambes, Welker et al.)

R-click button bars to access the 57 functs available from the overloaded buttons that operate on vertexwise labels and MGH annotations on the "label:" line (D=display, C=cut, CLR=clear, R=read, W=write, T=timecourse, S=stats, X=cross-corr).


Default tcl script popups (movies, resample fsaverage to subjects, searchlight operations).


R-click button bars to access 54 functions available from the overloaded buttons that operate on vertexwise values on the "val:" and "fs:" lines (R=read, S/V=swap-stat/val, CS=surfcluster, CLR=clear, W=write, GR=gradient), smoothing operatins (SMOOTH button), and arrows, normals, and points controls.


Demonstration of detection of reversals in the gradient of a polar angle scan using the C/tcl function, find_grad_reversals. This is available from a R-click on the "GR" (gradient) button on the "fs:" line in tksurfer. The last button on the popup is: "Find Gradient Reversals"


Demonstration of detection of reversals in the gradient of the curvature data, showing the gradient arrows (cyan) and the detected gradient reversals (red)


Single fMRI voxels are typically sampled to multiple surface vertices, since the cortical surface mesh is finer (~0.9 mm edges). Shown here are 'representative' vertices, closest to the positional average of all the vertices that have sampled one fMRI voxel, calculated with find_uniqsamp_vertices ("UQ" button on the "val3d: line in csurf tksurfer) -- preferred for surface based comparisions.
