Douglas,

This is my command line:
label_area lh fsaverage lh.temporalpole

Output:
bash-3.2$ label_area lh fsaverage lh.temporalpole
reading /Volumes/project/fsaverage/surf/lh.smoothwm...
adjusting for group surface area 1.31 (82220 / 62822)
fsaverage:  lh.temporalpole - 512.352 square mm

Thanks,
Jaiashre.


Re: [Freesurfer] Surface area of an fsaverage label

what is your command line?


Re: [Freesurfer] Surface area of an fsaverage label

Hi Jaiashre,

yes, it should do the correction for average surface area, and should 
print out a message indicating it is doing so. Something like:


adjusting for group surface area ...

[Freesurfer] Surface area of an fsaverage label

Hello,

I have used label_area to compute the surface area of a desikan label on 
fsaverage. Is the correction factor taken into account during computation with 
this function?

Thanks,
Jaiashre.
