External Email - Use Caution        

Hi Bruce, 
Sorry for the late reply. I have been searching the forum and the freesurfer wiki. Are there instructions somewhere on how to do this in matlab? 
Thanks, 
Lindsay

Hello Freesurfer Community, 

I am wondering if it is possible to recalculate cortical thickness metrics (perhaps using mri_segstats or aparcstats2table) while including either a SD threshold or an exclusion mask. 

Using mri_surf2surf to register scans to the same space and then mri_surface_stats to create the std maps I have been comparing the variability of cortical thickness across the cortex for multiple scans across the same subject. From this I can determine a SD threshold point (0.5 say) or create a mask that includes all regions above that threshold. 

I would like to use this to threshold the regions showing the highest variability out of my calculations for mean hemispheric thickness and also regional thickness. 
Is there a way to use an SD threshold within mri_segstats or aparcstats2table? Otherwise apply a mask image to exclude specific vertices? 

Thank you in advance,

Lindsay
