Re: [Freesurfer] global mean thickness

2011-08-14 Thread Anderson Winkler
Hi Allison, A suggestion is to use the surface area of each hemisphere as the weighting factor. The global average thickness for both hemispheres is then given by: bh.thickness = (lh.thickness*lh.surfarea + rh.thickness*rh.surfarea) / (lh.surfarea + rh.surfarea). If you use the data in the ?h

[Freesurfer] global mean thickness

2011-08-14 Thread Allison R. Kaup
Hi all, Please pardon the novice question... but what is the best way to get global mean cortical thickness (i.e. combined across hemispheres)? I have used mris_anatomical_stats to get mean thickness separately for each hemisphere. To get a global mean thickness, would I just take a simple av

Hi Doug, We have an old EPI data set where automatic (preproc-sess) or bbregister with any init type give a bad result. Hence, we are attempting to use a manual register.dat file instead. However, we must be doing something wrong, because changing preproc-sess to use our manual register.dat (done

Hi Bruce, My problem has been solved. I rotate the ?h.sphere by mris_rotate 0 0 90 and then I used mris_register to register it to fsaverage and I saw my result is perfectly registered to fsaverage. it means that mris_register was not able to realign the sphere to fsaverage if the original orien
