Re: [Freesurfer] Gyrification index vs cortical surface area

Hi Alan & Knut, Isn't GI a function of surface area, i.e. GI = SurfaceAreaPial/SurfaceAreaHull, e.g.: http://www.frontiersin.org/files/Articles/668/fninf-03-025/image_m/fninf-03-025-g003.jpg The hull area (denominator) normalizes for scale, so I would not expect the GI and surface area to be i

Hi Knut: Gryification and Surface Area are two completely different things. Surface Area, as measured by FreeSurfer, gives you the area of the surface (roughly length x breadth) of a given region of interest: e.g., Pars triangularis. It is measured in millimeter squared. Gyrfication index, by con
