Hi Randall, you are quite right that this is common desire. You might want to try the Volumes toolbox and the spm_orthviews plugins - there it is the fancy_render menu item. This one lets you not only render blobs on the brain surface, but also cut out parts and render sections with blobs on them. All this is linked at the SPM extensions page, downloads are available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/spmtools Feel free to ask any questions - preferably via the sourceforge tracker system - documentation other than the help texts is rather poor.
