So, as a measure of whole brain cortical thickness average is it better to
"Mean Thickness" from aparc.stats file?

Hi Daniel
the parcellations are not uniform in size, and therefore the
average of them will not be the same as averaging over the
cortex.

Hi,
I was wondering what should I use as an average of
cortical thickness for
the whole cortex.
The aparc.stats output gives a value of "Mean
Thickness" for each
hemisphere. But this value does not coincide with
the one I get if I average
the 34 variables from aparc.stats. Do you know why?
thanks so much in advance
Daniel
