Asaf, To get the thickness of each lobe, you will have to add-up the regions composing a lobe. This wiki page: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/CorticalParcellation has a listing of which aparc regions compose a lobe. Nick On Fri, 2008-11-14 at 20:57 +0200, asaf achiron wrote: > dea

All those commands will do the same thing. When you pass mri_convert a single dicom file, it looks at all the files in that directory and finds all the dicoms that have the same series number, and puts them into one volume. Alexa Nardelli wrote: Hi, I have a question regarding converting fi

Alexandru, The p-values displayed in qdec are actually -log10(p), so a value of 5 is 0.1, p of 3 would be 0.001, etc. The coordinates shown are freesurfer 'surface' coordinates, and do not have much value outside of freesurfer. qdec will be changed to show talairach coords in the future. You

Hi Jared, 1) it uses the same atlas. 2) this is a tough question, and we don't have much experience with processing multiple time points (yet). I would say you want the analysis of every one to be the same to prevent the introduction of methodological artifacts, so for now I would do them all
