Hi Doug, I just read from the .log files that the lh.thickness/area/pial/... files in subject/xhemi/surf are copied from subject/surf at the end of the command. Thus it seems that I can just copy lh.volume, too? Thanks, Cherry On Mon, Apr 28, 2014 at 6:25 PM, Yizhou Ma wrote: > Thanks D

Dear freesurfer experts, I am working on a project on cortical asymmetry and I have analyzed vertex-wise cortical thickness/surface area asymmetry. However, I noticed that Freesurfer doesn't not seem to facilitate such analysis for gray matter volume, as after running surfreg -xhemi there is no ?h
