Hi Emma
this is a bit of a dicey thing to do as the thickness value are senstive to non-biological things like field strength. You can look in our original PNAS thickness paper and we published values for a number of regions and compared them to e.g. Von Economo, but in the end the best you can do is to visually inspect the surfaces for placement accuracy.
cheers Bruce

Dear Freesurfer experts,
I need to compare the cortical thickness values, obtained from a data set of 32 healthy subjects, with some reference literature values of cortical thickness. I'd like to check the values of mean and standard deviation for each one of the 32 cortical parcellations automatically generated by Freesurfer. This is to decide if the data set can be used for the following steps of my work or not.
On the mailing list, I read an old thread that talks about the existence of a set of literature reference values, obtained by Rauhl Desikan. Would it be possible to access those data?
Thank you Emma Biondettu
