Hi Bruce,
The ideia is to show one control subject vs. one patient inflated surface with BA surface (not volume, sorry) to show the difference (reduced surface area in one patient). Loading the relevant labels worked (I have the statistics shown in bar graphs, the images are only for visualizing the difference between controls and patients). When I threshold the labels in the subject's inflated surface they shrink a lot, is this supposed to happen?
The BA are V1, V2 and MT. What is the thresghold for V2?
And is it correct to load ?h.sulc in a gray scale to have the usual cortex representation, or I should do it other way?
And getting back to my previous email:
Another question is, how is the volume of the BA calculated? Is it
from the surface-based stream?
And, which surface area is the on in the output of the BA stats? Is it the pial or wm?
Thanks, Andreia

Hi Andreia
sorry, I don't understand. What do you mean when you say you want to " show the resulting Brodmann area (only 3 BA) volume in the inflated surface of my subjects". Do you mean just to show what portion of the surface is in each of 3 Brodmann areas? That you would do by loading the relevant labels, although you will probably want to threshold them differently (e.g. V1 you could threshold at .9 which is 90% and it would have about the surface area of an individual, while MT would need to be closer to .4 or .5). Or do you actually mean the volume of gray matter within each BA? If the latter, it's just 3 numbers/subject, so I would think you would want a scatter plot or something, not a map on the surface.
cheers Bruce

Hi all,
I'm sorry if these questions have already been covered here, but I've looked into the archives and still can't do what I need (and since I'm running out of time for this task I decided to post here):
I'm using version 5.0.0.
I want to show the resulting Brodmann area (only 3 BA) volume in the inflated surface of my subjects to show the differences between patients and controls (for visualization purpose only). I've managed to overlay the volume in the curvature menu but this is for the entire cortex and I can't show the values bar. How can I show the volume of only 3 BAs and have the scale bar?
Another question is, how is the volume of the BA calculated? Is it from the surface-based stream?
And, which surface area is the on in the output of the BA stats? Is it the pial or wm?
Thanks in advance, Andreia
