Re: [Freesurfer] Anatomical stats for fsaverage

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

Does this workaround account for the error in the raw area unavoidable on an average surface? If not, are you aware of it and is it important for your analysis? doug Alex Fornito wrote: Rudolph's workaround seems to do the trick. Thanks! On 06/06/2009 18:16, "Bruce Fischl" wrote: yeah,

yeah, I guess we disabled it since the surface area isn't representative of individual subjects. We could either change it to a warning with a -force flag or something, or you could run mri_annotation2label and run label_area on the individual labels. Do you really want the surface area on the

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

Hi, I'm playing around with different ways of generating custom annotation files using the fsaverage surface, and would like to estimate the surface area of each ROI. I tried running mris_anatomical stats, but it seems to required wm.mgz, which is not contained in the fsaverage directories (please
