My apologies Doug... I thought that this email had all the history... Narly, sorry for "invading" your discussion...
My questions came from the first email of Narly which referred to the bug in mris_preproc: http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer%40nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg19821.html This bug also exist in FS 5.0, right? I'm using 5.0 and until now I've used aparcstats2table to get Brodmann Area measures (CT and surface area of the thresholded labels) and total CT and surface area of each hemisphere. Does the bug also affect these measures or it is fine to use them? Now I want to run a whole-brain analysis with qdec but to do so I'll have to run qcache with 5.3 which already has the bug fixed, correct? Is qcache equivalent to mris_preproc? Hope I was more clear this time...
