Dear FS experts I tried to read out in each subject the surface area values of some clusters derived from a group comparison. For that purpose, I used mri_surf2surf and mris_anatomical_stats.
Everything worked fine, but in some clusters the direction of the effects reversed. A first guess was that this might have to do with the smoothing that we applied to the group comparison. Therefore, I smoothed the individual area files to get the smoothed surface area in each subject using the following command: mris_anatomical_stats -a area_p01.annot -t rh.area -nsmooth 15 -f $s/stats/rh.aparc.a2005s.stats $s rh But the surface area of this smoothed data gives the same values as the unsmoothed data. Any idea what is wrong here?
