Incorrect mapping to surface for some nifti files
Hi all.


I have a nifti file that I want to plot on a surface using brainnet.

For some reason, the mapping is not good and some holes (null color spots) are present in the output.
I am attaching a screenshot showing this problem (upper subplot is using the interpolation method and the lower subplot is using gaussian inter method).

For other nifti files (with similar dimensions) the output is perfect.

Any help?

Hi, this might due to the spars distribution of data in the nifti file. Please try "most neighbor voxel" method or smooth the nifti file for visulization. 

Best,
Mingrui

Hi Mingrui,


Using the "most neighbor voxel" I get some weird super saturated maps.
The smoothing for visualization purposes sounds a good idea. I will try that.

Would a Gaussian smoothing with FWHM 4 4 4 be ok? Is it too much?

Cheers,
