A DIY fix of rfMRI time series data with empty vertices (timeseries = 0s) very near the medial wall is available using the command "-cifti-dilate" in wb_command. wb_command is a suite of command line utilities distributed as part of Connectome Workbench, our HCP visualization and analysis platform. The current distribution of Connectome Workbench is available for download at: http://humanconnectome.org/connectome/get-connectome-workbench.html .
Once you have Workbench installed, to get help/syntax for running this command, open a terminal window and type:
wb_command -cifti-dilate
Use the following settings to fully cover the missing vertices around the medial wall:
<direction> : COLUMN
<surface-distance> : 4
<volume-distance> : 4
Assuming you are in the directory with the affected .dtseries.nii file in it, run the command using the syntax:
wb_command -cifti-dilate <cifti-in> <direction> <surface-distance> <volume-distance> <cifti-out> -nearest
Example:
wb_command -cifti-dilate rfMRI_REST2_LR_Atlas.dtseries.nii COLUMN 4 4 rfMRI_REST2_LR_Atlas_FIXED.dtseries.nii -nearest
