Hello freesurfers,
It appears that prior discussions on the listserv have recommended using
mean cortical thickness (rather than ICV) as a covariate for thickness
analyses (predominantly recommended by Michael Harms). I have three
questions about this:
1. Is there a paper that I could cite that recommends using mean
cortical thickness rather than ICV?
2. Would the same logic be applied to surface area analyses? i.e. would
it make more sense to use mean surface area as a covariate in surface area
analyses? If so, which mean surface area calculation should be used?
mri_anatomical_stats can produce both pial and white matter mean surface
area stats.
3. Is there a way to run mri_anatomical_stats on multiple subjects at
once and write to a tablefile (similar to asegstats2table output)?
Thanks!
Laura.
