can you describe "awful"? The lh.curv.pial is the smoothed mean curvature of the pial surface, whereas the lh.curv is that of the white surface. We've had some problems locally where the lh.curv doesn't look right - pretty much all "gyral" values, that we haven't been able to track down. If this is what you're finding and you can replicate it, let us know. Bruce

Dear Bruce and others,

We recently started using the newly released freesurfer stable version 3.0.1. After auto-recon2 a few files are saved, including lh.curv and lh.curv.pial. When lh.curv is loaded as the curvature, the output looks awful. But lh.curv.pial looks great. What's the difference between these two files? Which one should be used for curvature overlay? Thanks.
