Hi Daniel
for the aparc.a2009 atlas :
- The average convexity sulco-gyral threshold vas usually set to 0 for the lateral cortex, and to 0.18 for the medial cortex.
- The average convexity value was negative for the whole insula (located deeply in the lateral sulcus/fossa). For the insular region, we used the mean curvature in a similar way: vertices with a positive mean curvature value were considered sulcal, and vertices with non positivevalues were considered gyral.
for more detail you can have a look to Destrieux C, Fischl B, Dale A, Halgren E. Automatic parcellation of human cortical gyri and sulci using standard anatomical nomenclature. Neuroimage 2010; 53: 1-15.
cheers
