what do you mean by "area"? do you mean one of the cortical ROIs or do you mean a general location?

Hi,
I have read in the mailing list about zero cortical thickness, but I still have some doubts.
I am calculating the average cortical thickness of some areas, and there are a few that almost all the subjects' thickness is zero, others only some subjects score zero. For the ones that almost all subjects is zero, I would guess is not considered cortical, however, all my areas are cortical.
- If I compute a ttest against two groups, should I set the zeros as
NaNs? or are the zero thickness meaningful (a genuine measure or a segmentation artifact)?
-Should I use the -l ?h.cortex.label to avoid having zero thickness in some areas? If so, at which point? the commands used are:
mri_surf2surf --srcsubject fsaverage --trgsubject subjid --hemi ?h --sval-annot fsaverage/label/?h.areas.annot --tval $SUBJECTS_DIR/subjid/label/?h.areas.annot
mris_anatomical_stats -a $SUBJECTS_DIR/subjid/label/?h.areas.annot$SUBJECTS_DIR/subjid/label/?h.areas.annot -f $SUBJECTS_DIR/subjid/stats/?h.areas.stats -b subjid ?h
