spread.values.over.subject {fsbrain}

Spread the values in the region_value_list and return them for one hemisphere.

Description

Given an atlas and a list that contains one value for each atlas region, create morphometry data in which all region vertices are assigned the value. Can be used to plot stuff like p-values or effect sizes onto brain regions.

Usage

spread.values.over.subject(
  subjects_dir,
  subject_id,
  atlas,
  lh_region_value_list,
  rh_region_value_list,
  value_for_unlisted_regions = NaN,
  silent = FALSE
)

Arguments

subjects_dir

string. The FreeSurfer SUBJECTS_DIR, i.e., a directory containing the data for all your subjects, each in a subdir named after the subject identifier.

subject_id

string. The subject identifier

atlas

string. The atlas name. E.g., "aparc", "aparc.2009s", or "aparc.DKTatlas". Used to construct the name of the annotation file to be loaded.

lh_region_value_list

named list. A list in which the names are atlas regions, and the values are the value to write to all vertices of that region. Applied to the left hemisphere.

rh_region_value_list

named list. A list in which the names are atlas regions, and the values are the value to write to all vertices of that region. Applied to the right hemisphere.

value_for_unlisted_regions

numeric scalar. The value to assign to vertices which are part of atlas regions that are not listed in region_value_list. Defaults to NaN.

silent

logical, whether to suppress mapping info in case of unnamed region value lists (see 'lh_region_value_list' description).

Value

named list with entries 'lh' and 'rh'. Each value is a numeric vector containing the data for the respective hemisphere.
