Hi Lea
the Euler number is an integer, so it will never be 2.5. In fact, in our
reconstructed surfaces it will always be exactly 2, except for the
*nofix* surfaces, as we explicitly correct the topology of the surfaces
(see the Automated Manifold Surgery paper if you are interested in the
details)

External Email - Use Caution
Hey Freesurfer Experts,
I would like to use the Euler number as a quantitative quality measure of my
reconstructed data as
Rosen et al. (2017) recommend in their recently published paper.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811917310832
I figured I can use:
mris_euler_number [<options>] insurf to get the euler number for each data
set.
Which surface should I use though? The white or pial surface area or is there
no preference?
Does anybody have experience with what range of Euler number would be
acceptable? I read that 2
would be perfect but is 2.5 still ok? Or 1? Somehow I could not find any
recommendation in the Rosen
paper about thresholds or something similar. Did I miss something?
Any advice would be highly appreciated! Thanks!
Best,
Lea
