It sounds like you need to change the tksurfer color scale to give it more dynamic range.

Dear surfers,
I ran the recon-all -s bert -autorecon1 recon-all -s bert -autorecon2 recon-all -s bert -autorecon3
commands and all of them finished without any error. The log files of the commands and the file list of the resultant bert folder are attached to the mail. I can see the surface of the pial and the white with the tksurfer and try to load the ?h.thickness files as curvature files to the surfaces. But I only get fully red colored surface. What may be wrong? Also how can I read the ?h.thickness files manually to check is there any meaningful information there. The curvature maps are working but the thickness is not working. The snapshots of the the thickness and curvature are also attached.
For the next step I want to ask one more question. In a previous mail in the list it is said that
"we compute the closest vertex on the pial from each vertex on the white, and visa-versa, then set the thickness to the average of the two." for the thickness calculation.
I understand from this statement that the thickness is just measured for the surface vertices but not for the voxels in the original volume. For voxel based morphometry do you have any advice to get thickness values for the voxels of the grey matter?
Thanks in advance for any advice and reply.
