Douglas,

This is my command line: label_area lh fsaverage lh.temporalpole

Output: bash-3.2$ label_area lh fsaverage lh.temporalpole reading /Volumes/project/fsaverage/surf/lh.smoothwm... adjusting for group surface area 1.31 (82220 / 62822) fsaverage: lh.temporalpole - 512.352 square mm

Thanks, Jaiashre.

what is your command line?

Hi Jaiashre,

yes, it should do the correction for average surface area, and should print out a message indicating it is doing so. Something like:

adjusting for group surface area ...

cheers Bruce

Hello,

I have used label_area to compute the surface area of a desikan label on fsaverage. Is the correction factor taken into account during computation with this function?

Thanks, Jaiashre.
