just use mris_thickness. The others should be fine

Hi Bruce,

How would I go about updating the thickness estimates (?h.thickness, I presume) 
after
manually adjusting the pial surface in FreeView?  Are the other surfaces 
(inflated, sphere,
etc.) unaffected by this change, or should they be recalculated as well?

      only the thickness estimates should matter, unless you've lost an entire 
gyrus
      or something

            Hi Bruce,

            This is the manual edit of the pial surface in FreeView, correcting
            locations where the grey
            matter failed to grow out of the white matter. It took place after
            the pipeline had
            completed, but I'm not sure if I need to rerun/regenerate steps
            which are dependent on the
            pial surface. For example, are mris_sphere, mris_curvature, and
            mris_flatten dependent upon
            the pial surface or cortical thickness, or do they work directly off
            the wm/orig surface? 
            If the former, I should rerun them; if the latter I don't need to do
            anything but just
            repaint the functional statistics of interest using mri_vol2surf and
            the updated cortical
            bounds (which I presume happens automatically, having corrected
            ?h.pial).

            My comment about morphometry was meant to note that, since I'm
            manually changing the
            distance between the wm and pial surface in places where there were
            medial surface
            artifacts, it would be unwise to try to draw any conclusions from
            comparing
            manually-adjusted and automatically-calculated cortical thicknesses.

                  Hi Stephen

                  why do you say it invalidates the morphometry? And we need to
            know what pial
                  surface editing you did in order to answer your questions (and
            what recon-all
                  steps you rerean)

                  cheers

                        Thanks again for your help at the FreeSurfer course.
            I've corrected
                        the pial surface
                        manually (knowing that this invalidates the morphometry,
            but that by
                        restoring the medial
                        surface it does let me process functional data).  Having
            done this,
                        do I need to remake
                        spheres and patches, or are these unchanged?  For
            example, when
                        using mri_vol2surf, does
                        freesurfer know what elements to sample by consulting
            the ?h.orig
                        and ?h.pial, or are there
                        downstream files I should update as well?

                        Thanks!

                        stephen
