Thanks Bruce,

These will give quite different values, right? Any chance of getting at the mid-thickness area?

Cheers,

Hi Morgan,

you get to choose. I think the default ?h.area file uses the ?h.white surface, but you can give mris_anatomical_stats whatever surface you want. I think we also by default compute an ?h.pial.area file.

I just wanted to check which surface was used to compute area and which reference would have this information. Thanks in advance.

Hey Bruce,

I'll use the average of the two. Thanks.

hmmm, I wrote something a while ago to generate a middle surface, but I'm not sure I would recommend it. It's kind of strange to be measuring the area of a surface that doesn't exist, isn't it? I would rather use the average of the two
