Hi,
I have some labels that I've drawn, which correspond to the gyral crown and 
sulcal fundus of a given ROI. From what I understand, mean curvature provides 
an index of the convexity/concavity of the region. I would therefore have 
expected high positive values in the gyral ROI to represent a steeper peak in 
the curvature of the crown, with values closed to zero representing a more 
flattened gyrus. Converseley, I would have thought low negative values for the 
fundus ROI would represent a steeper peak in the opposite direction, with 
values closer to zero again reflecting flattened curvature.
In reality, the values I get for both sulcal and gyral labels (using 
mris_anatomical_stats) tend to be both positive. 
Hoping someone could tell me what I'm missing? 

Thanks in advance,
Alex
