Hi Doug,

The command line is mri_glmfit --y lh.t.15.mgh --fsgd t.txt dods --C t1.txt
--surface fsaverage lh --cortex --fwhm 15 --glmdir lh.t.15.glmdir

I am doing a whole hemisphere analysis and am measuring cortical thickness.
I do not have my own mask but I have doubts about the mask that has been
produced because from previous studies, there has been significant thinning
in the area around the hippocampus and parts of it are being left out in
the mask, such as the para-hippocampal region.

Regards

Joshua
