Please, is there any automatic way to extract this "Mean Thickness" values for lh and rh for a big group of subjects? As for example aparcstats2table?

thank you very much

yes, I think so

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
