Hi,

here's an email from Don Hagler from February 2009:

It seems to me that vertex areas in the native subject space are not meaningful.  The orig surfaces should be uniformly tesselated; however, topology correction and final surface finding should introduce complicated and probably uninteresting variation.

i couldn't find a direct reply to this remark, hence my question:
is this true? and if so, does this imply that native space surface measurements (as given in the aparc.stats file) are uninteresting for statistical analysis?

best,
