Hi,

I have gotten the lh and rh ROIs stats with mris_anatomical_stats before, is there any statistical tests in particular that you recommend for asymmetry? What I have done is a two-way anova and paired t-test with Bonferroni correction. Would like to hear your opinion on that.

Also, I would be interested in the vertex-wise analysis, I will look into that. How can I do the xhemi analysis after make_folding_atlas?

Thank you!
Daiana

You can certainly get the lh and rh ROI stats in table form and then do
an asymmetry analysis. Or you can use the xhemi stream to do a
vertex-wise analysis. the difference is the difference between ROI and
map-based analysis
