Adjustment of Desikan-Killany atlas

Hello,

I'm analyzing one patient's MEG data, and I want to calculate the source and connectivity using Densikan-Killany atlas.
The system didn't register the atlas correctly on the patient's brain surface, because the patient's right frontal lobe has been resected.
Can I adjust the atlas manually to fit the patient's brain, or is there any other method that can fit this problem?

This is common (and expected) for anatomies with large deviations from standard templates.

In the Scouts tabs there are tools that will allow you to modify (add, remove, grow, shrink) scouts as you need:

Since the Desikan-Killiany atlas is provided a default atlas, it is not possible to modified directly.
Use the menu entry Atlas > New atlas > Copy current atlas to create a copy and edit it.

Thank you for answering!
Can I rearrange the scouts in new atlas by alphabetic order? It is totally out of order after I edited it.

And another problem is, due to the large deviation, the brain lobe detected by the system is wrongly labeled to the new edited scout (as the following screenshot). How can I solve this problem?

Yes, but not directly in the GUI

In the GUI

  1. Select all Scouts (Ctrl+A)
  2. Use the [Save] button at the right of the scouts: Save selected scouts to file
  3. Save them with the format Brainstorm cortical scouts

In Matlab

  1. Load the created file
  2. Reorganize the Scouts in the Scouts variable to the order that you needed
  3. Edit the atlas name (variable Name), e.g., 'My ordered atlas'
  4. Save the atlas data (variables Name, Scouts TessNbVertices) in a mat file: scout_my_ordered_atlas.mat'

Back in the GUI

  1. Use the [Folder] button at the right of the scouts: Load atlas
  2. The atlas My ordered atlas is now available with your order

Just double-click it as change the name.
Is this what you needed?

Not the scout name. It is the gray label before the scout name.m It seems automatically assigned to the scout.

Oh I got it. It can be edited with the same method you mentioned above. Thank you so much!
