Hi Andreas and Matt, Yes, that is a good idea! Maybe I should play with the turning angle. I left it at default (I think it is 0.2). I am trying to analyse the relationships between several occipito-temporal areas, intra- and interhemispherically. The main tracts will be ILF, in the sense of a core and there will be connections in U fiber shape from the different cortical areas to the other, passing via ILF. So I tried to first isolate the ILF, which comes out rather easily, then threshold it very high, like at 1000 and use this core as a waypoint between the cortical areas in question. But with no result. However when seeding without waypoint I see that most paths go to the area of ILF and they have large intersections there. Best, and thank you!
