Hi Eduardo the folding metrics were proposed by David Van Essen in an oldish paper of his. Sorry, I don't remember exactly which one - you'll have to poke around (or ask him). You could also look at LGI cheers Bruce On Thu, 12 May 2016, Caverzasi, Eduardo wrote: > Hello all, > > I am not sure

Hello all, I am not sure my previous email was received. We are looking at developmental anomalies in children and we using Freesurfer to asses thickness, volume but also local gyration indexes, using QDEC tool but also extrapolating the actual values for correlations. The local gyration index

My understanding is that GI is also a global summary stat across the whole hem, while lGI is *local* GI (vertex-wise). It measures how folded the cortex is at that vertex. GI and lGI are based on area, while the folding index is based on curvature. Truly different measures. Gyrification Inde

have a look at this page: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/LGI folding index is typically a single number summarizing the amount of folding overall on a surface. freesurfer puts these measures in subjid/stats/?h.curv.stats. gyrification index is a new method created by maria schaer to

Hi all, I'm trying to extract the folding index for each subject/hemisphere/roi from ?h.aparc.stats into a single table with all subjects. It appears though that aparcstats2table will only extract area, volume, thickness, thicknessstd and meancurv, not folding index, even though these values a

Very interesting debate you keep here, gentlemen. I went on and divided FI by the area in one reference and one pathological subjects (and age matched references). Now it seems that the "NewFI" is quite correlated with cortical thickness. It even decreases from the frontal, through parietal to

[Bruce wrote] sounds reasonable to me, but we should call it something else (normalized FI/CI?) Yes, dividing out area does look like a first step, justified by the way the per-vertex values are calculated. This gives the result units of mm^-2, which maybe has an interpretation something alon

[Freesurfer] Folding Index question

2007-11-16 Thread Graham Wideman
Folks: We're wondering about how FS's "folding index" corresponds to Van Essen's calculation (J Neurosci, 1997 Sept 15). In particular, do the FI values for each region factor out the area of the region or not. When we plot them the FI values look extremely correlated to area, but that does
