Hi Hugh, you can run mris_anatomical_stats passing it the sulc file as input. This will give you averages within aparc. I'm not sure what you mean by "measuring cortical folding". What measure would you accept? There's the sulcal depth and then there's curvature (?h.curv). There are two types of "normalization". One is intensity normalization which is a preprocessing step before the segmentation. "Normalization" is also refers to intersubject registration. Probably you mean the latter. doug

Hi Doug,
Thanks so much for getting back to my original question (have included below) and apologies if my question seems trivial but I'm a bit of a novice with freesurfer.. I've found the ?h.sulc file but how do I go about extracting the sulcal depth measurements? Is there a command like aparcsstats2table?
Also, is there a way of measuring cortical folding with freesurfer? And I've read about the noramlization step but am still not completely clear on it, is this part of the segmentation of white/gray surface and pial surface?
Thanks so much for your help, Best, Hugh

The values are in the ?h.sulc file doug

Hi,
How can I get sulcal depth measurements from Freesurfer?
Cheers, Hugh
