[FieldTrip] Question about SPM brain templates including the cerebellum

[jan-mathijs schoffelen]

Dear May,

The surface files contain only a triangulation of the neo-cortical  
surface.
Typically, software packages creating high-resolution meshes of the  
brain (such as freesurfer) exclude the cerebellum.
For the figures in the famous Schoffelen et al 2008 paper (Neuroimage)  
I created the surfaces (with cerebellum) using a segmented template  
MRI (using SPM) and then, after some image processing (smoothing  
filling etc), called the matlab isosurface function. This gives a  
triangulated surface which can be used for visualization. Note that  
this procedure does not yield topologically a sphere, so it cannot be  
used for inflation.

Best,

Jan-Mathijs
