gray/white boundary

Hi Don

By far the easiest way to do this is to find the locations of the points on the 
sphere then compute the length of the great circle arc connecting them, then 
correct by the ratio of the sqrt of the areas of the two surfaces.

Alternatively I think Rudolph may have had some tools for computing actual 
geodesics (the procedure about will give you like a 10% error)

Cheers
Bruce

        External Email - Use Caution
Dear experts,

I would like to compute the shortest distance along the gray/white boundary 
between two points on the boundary, i.e. between points with "white" 
parcellation regions. The distance need not be guaranteed to be minimized and 
the path need not be unique. Can you suggest an approach using the freesurfer 
tools?

Thanks - Don
