the problem is that the average surface has less surface area than any individual. We keep track of this in the surface file itself (try mris_info on it), then correct for it when we need to. cheers, Bruce On Tue, 9 Jun 2009, Alex Fornito wrote: No, sorry. What is the error? On 09/06/2009

Hi Alex, if all you care about is surface area you can probably just copy the wm.mgz from any subject into the fsaverage/mri dir. Other stats will of course then be incorrect. You also have to be careful as the fsaverage surfaces contain less surface area (due to averaging) than individual su
