Hi all, heat kernel smoothing and diffusion smoothing are supposed to give the same solution to an isotropic heat equation on the cortex. the difference is that heat kernel smoothing is simpler and there is no need to worry about the convergence. in diffusion smoothing, there might be a ringing e

Hi Moo, I actually implemented your diffusion smoother but could not quite get it to work. It might have been related to the delta t parameter. Can you give some guidance as to how to set it? What's the difference between heat kernel smoothing and diffusion smoothing? btw, the link to the "Dif

Dear Dr. Park, I guess you are asking about freesurfer related surface smoothing. Although I am not exactly sure how FreeSurfer is implmenting surface smoothing, the general theory of suface-based smoothing and FWHM can be found in two of my previous publications: Chung, M.K., Worsley, K.J. , Pau
