External Email - Use Caution        

Dear Doug,

Thanks for the fast reply.
Well we calculated the measures surface area (SA) , thickness (THK), volume 
(VOL) in each participant (in surf folder) of our groups and evaluated the 
differences between them using Monte Carlo.

Now we wanted just for descriptive purposes to be able to see the average THK, 
VOL and SA in each of the 3 groups mentioned before projected on the group 
average.

So yes every voxel in the map would contain the average value of eg. Thickness 
in that voxel in the group.

To obtain that we created an average brain of every group using the following 
command:

make_average_subject —subjects A1 B2.. —out Group_average

After this we had an average of each of our 3 groups, (in the groups space I 
assume). 
In the surf folder of every group I could find the average thickness and area 
map. 

here an example : in freeview we loaded the surface inflated and took the 
overalay lh.thickness in one of our groups.



Now I would like to have the same for the average volume in the group, however 
I am not quite sure how to obtain that, as there is no lh.volume file in the 
average brain of our group.

I think this question was asked before see:

However I could not really follow the instructions there.

Thanks !
