I want to underscore Bruce's point. Higher mean curvature could mean
that folds are sharper. It does not mean that there are necessarily more
folds.

Curvature does not really connect simply to folding, although they are
of course related. Nonetheless, one cannot make universal statements
like "A curvature means an in
folding". Consider for example a pathology like poly-microgryria where
numerous small "bumps" might appear on a brain surf
Hi Kaspar
if you mean the values we store in the ?h.curv files, those are the
spatially smoothed mean curvature (average of the two principal
curvatures).
a). it is of the white surface, but you can use mris_curvature to compute
the curv of the pial if you want
b) an increase in the curva
