Hi Moo,

I actually implemented your diffusion smoother but could not quite get it to work. It might have been related to the delta t parameter. Can you give some guidance as to how to set it? What's the difference between heat kernel smoothing and diffusion smoothing? btw, the link to the "Diffusion smoothing on cortex" software on your web page is broken.

thanks

doug

Dear Dr. Park,

I guess you are asking about freesurfer related surface smoothing.
Although I am not exactly sure how FreeSurfer is implmenting surface
smoothing, the general theory of suface-based smoothing and FWHM can
be found in two of my previous publications:

These softwares implemented in MATLAB can be found in my webpage
http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~mchung/softwares/sotfwares.html
for other type of triangular meshes.

Hi,

I would like to know the relationship between number of iteration in surface
smoothing and Gaussian kernel size in FWHM.

Would you give me some information on this? Thank you in advance.
