Dear Freesurfer team,
Thank you for your continued efforts and advances on the Freesurfer tool, which have benefitted the community and quest for therapy advances. I wondered whether there is an assessment of the computation time breakout between volume calculation vs. cortical thickness, area, and mean curvature. Is it possible to reduce time by calculating only volumes (no CT, area, MC), and if so, what reduction would be anticipated (recognizing that the answer is proportional as the absolute time would depend upon hardware etc.)? As a second question, there was a previous mention in listserv comments regarding running left and right hemispheres in parallel. Is this done, and is it an approach that can be combined with the parallel processing flag? Thank you for any insights on these questions.
