Hi freesurfers,

1. I am a new user of freesurfer. I want to measure,compare cortical thickness in corresponding regions of the cortex in a group of subjects. Is there a description of steps involved in doing this?

From what I have read till now, I know that I can create ROIs and use the instructions on http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/VolumeRoiCorticalThickness to get the thickness values and then repeat the same for different regions/subjects. I would like to know if there is a workflow available for doing the same.

2. I am facing the tksurfer 'sliver' problem on a virtual CentOS machine run on Windows XP using VMWare Player for using Freesurfer. Has anyone experienced a similar problem and is there any way to correct it?

Any inputs on these two issues will be very helpful.

Thanks!

Regards,
Jaichander
