Hello,
Since the jacobian files contain only positive numbers, is there any way to
make a distinction between a brain area that needs to be stretched bigger
to fit the template versus a brain area that needs to be squished smaller?
fsaverage is comprised of 40 subjects, but I wonder if the jacobian is most
accurate only for my subjects that have the same age as the fsaverage mean?
If so, then the younger subjects would need to be squished and the older
subjects would need to be stretched. But since the jacobian is always
positive, then on a scatterplot of jacobian versus age, this would look
like a hump centered on the fsaverage mean age. Am I on the right track
with this?
Thank you,
Jeff
