Hi,
Just like volume, I have "Folding Index" measures saved in lh/rh.aparc.stats files for each subject.
If I am using mris_preproc *--meas volume* --out CV/lh.CV.mgh command to concat cortical volume files from all subjects, then how can I use this command for "folding index" output file?
Any help will be really appreciated.
something like --meas white.K or white.H

Thanks Dr. Greve. That works, but both white.K and white.H are giving me very different output values.
For example, for first few subjects I get: -0.00237 -0.00450 -0.00204 0.00113 -0.00228 -0.00958 -0.00314 0.00180 -0.00452 if I use white.K -0.05809 -0.05799 -0.06457 -0.07254 -0.07208 -0.05023 -0.06044 -0.09338 -0.09178 if I use white.H
Can you please tell me the difference between white.K and white.H conceptually and mathematically?

K and H are the Gaussian Curvature and the Mean Curvature. Both can be computed based on the 2 principal curvatures k1 and k2 of a surface.
K and H are not identical to the folding index, though they are related to it via k1 and k2. k1 and k2 are also known as k_max and k_min, which you may know from the definition of the folding index.

Thank you so much every one for helping me in this regard. I have some follow up questions:
I am interested in associating mean curvature (H) with some behavioral measure. After extracting subject-wise mean curvature estimates, I found a significant positive association between mean curvature and those behavioral measures. My questions are:
(1). Why did Dr. Greve suggested to use white surface for estimating mean curvature, and not pial? What's the exact differences in both - is the only difference is that one is used for mean curvature from white matter (white surface) and the other from gray matter? I am not sure why one is recommended over the other? (2). If I want to use my own spherical ROIs for mean curvature estimation, how much radius is enough to draw spheres around peak coordinates? (3). Using white surface as recommended as Dr. Greve, I get (-) values for all the subjects, please see attached plot. Here mean curvature values are plotted along Y-axis. So here more negative values (.e.g ~ -0.07) represent sharper folds or less negative values (e.g. ~ -0.04) represent sharper folds? If I take absolute values of mean curvature, this association shown in attached plot changes from positive to negative. Can you please help me in interpreting the differences in more negative and less negative values here?
Any additional information about this measure will also be very useful, as I am using this parameter for the first time.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Martin
you can use whichever surface you want - they are just different biological questions. The files we write out by default relate to the white surface, but you can certainly generate the equivalent for the pial using mris_curvature.
In general the curvature is 1/r, where r is the radius of an inscribed circle that is tangent to the surface in that direction. So bigger curvature implies smaller r (and sharper folds).
As for you question (2), I think that is a biological one and depends on the effect you are looking for (unless I am misunderstanding)
cheers Bruce
