Hi Emma,
Could you clarify what would be the disadvantages that you've heard about? I ask because we've studied and tried to clarify many aspects of the analysis of surface area in this paper http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811912002996. Maybe if there's something not covered there we could try to comment then.
Thanks!
All the best,
Anderson

Dear Freesurfers, I recently heard that there are several disadvantages to using a measure of cortical surface area in Freesurfer, specifically due to conducting a vertex-wise analysis. Can someone help me understand why a measure of surface area using this approach might be flawed? Thanks!
