External Email - Use Caution        

Dear FreeSurfer experts,

what is the difference between the following 2 files found in a subject's surf/ 
directory:
  * file #1: lh.area.fsaverage.mgh
  * file #2: lh.area.fwhm0.fsaverage.mgh


I see in the logs (<SUBJECT>/scripts/recon-all.log), that file #2 is generated 
from file #1 by running the following command:

    mri_surf2surf --prune --s fsaverage --hemi lh --fwhm 0 --sval 
lh.area.fsaverage.mgh --tval lh.area.fwhm0.fsaverage.mgh --cortex

I know that if fwhm > 0, spatial smoothing will be applied. But what happens if 
fwhm is 0? From a quick comparison of the data in both files, they seem to be 
identical, but the hashes of the files differ. Is the difference only about the 
header?

Thanks for your help,
