In theory that should work. I say "in theory" because there might be something unique to each area in terms of the distribution of the vertices across space. But I'm betting it will be safe to do. But why not run both simulations?

Hi,

A question about building your own Monte Carlo.

here: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/BuildYourOwnMonteCarlo

it says: "If you want to restrict the correction to a smaller area to reduce the severity of the correction, you can specify a mask or a label and change the output folder".

Thus, if i have 2 anatomically distant (e.g. 1 frontal and 1 occipital) but identically-sized (same # of vertices) cortical areas, only 1 MC for 1 area needs to be created and can then be used with both areas? That is, only the size of the area matters, not the location. Is that correct?

Thanks, -joost
