Thank you very much very for your quickly reply, Dr. Fischl.
 
The commend you suggested only calculates the average for each hemisphere, but 
we need the average across both hemispheres (i.e., whole brain). 
Could you suggest how to do it without noncortical regions?
 
Thank you,
 
Xin

Hi Xin,

you can use mris_anatomical_stats with -l ?h.cortex.label, which should
be generated automatically, to avoid noncortical regions.

cheers,
