Dear Paul, mris_expand can be used only in the hypothetical cases, where in all brain systematically the surface is shifted to equal amount from the position which is anatomically relevant. Therefore it cannot be used to correct for local errors. To ilustrate the use of this tool, see the scre

Hello Antonin, GM/WM boundary = thickness. correct me if i am wrong. Shouldn't expanding/shrinking the ?h.white or ?h.pial surface to the correct size and shape help with that?

Dear Paul, I am quite surprised that you were successful to estimate correct GM/WM boundary using this tool. As far as I know and looking at the source code, this tool GLOBALLY moves the position of the specified surface to some amount, so it cannot be used to correct local errors. It is used e
