Hi Josue

No real reason. We provide maps of the mean curvature so it would be easy enough to average them. Not sure it will have much meaning. I guess it will loosely measure how much folding there is (since the less folding the more sphere-like the geometry will become)

Cheers Bruce

Dear FreeSurfer,

Why an average whole hemispherical value for mean curvature is not provided by Qdec?

Is there geometrical reason?

Best regards,

Josue
