Hi Paul, I think volume you can normalize with eTIV, but how to normalize thickness is an open question. You could argue it should be eTIV^(1/3), but I know at least one HBM abstract a couple of years ago from the MNI showing that you shouldn't normalize at all. If your effects are focal then

Dear Freesurfers, When comparing cortical gray matter volumes between groups it is appropriate to normalize subject's mean cortical volume in each cortical parcellation by their eTIV. Is there a corresponding value appropriate for normalizing cortical thickness? Would mean cortical thickness

Hi Jon, are the ventricles labeled properly in the aseg? Probably not. Try running recon-all with -bigventricles and see if it improves. cheers, Bruce On Mon, 7 Jan 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are having trouble posteriorly with delineating the pial and white matter surfaces in scans

Hi Doug I tried to make that file executable (as root I typed chmod a+x make_average_volume) but it did not work. The file I found under the URL you send me is a text file and it is not compiled. Please can you give me any hint to make the new version of make_average_volume executable. Is there a
