Martin,
As lgi is read like a thickness file, the lgi values in your tabular
output replaced the value where you had thickness before. So mean lgi
is in column 4 (note that average lgi values per parcell are
comprised between 1 and 5 if your lgi computation is ok). Standard
deviation for lgi is in column 5. The other columns should not change
if you run mris_anatomical_stats without the -t option (i.e on the
thickness).
About your last point, the main difference between gyrification index
as previously computed (e.g. Zilles 1988) and local gyrification
index is indeed the increased spatial resolution: you get one lgi
value per cortical vertex (i.e. >100'000 lgi values over the
hemisphere). Thus, the lgi per parcell from mris_anatomical_stats is
the average lgi over all vertices included in each cortical parcel.
Does it make sense?

Thanks a lot help, Marie.
Indeed the -t switch worked.
Now, the lh.aparc.stats (thickness) and my generated lh.lgi.stats
(lGI) differ
in the columns 4,5,6, which correspond to GrayVol, AverageThk, and
StdevThk.
Could you please help me to understand these values?
1. Why is the GM volume different in the two files (column 4)?
2. Is the average lGI in the column 5?
3. My impression is that the lGI is a property of an area, e.i. of the
lateraloccipital cortex, so I would expect to get only a single
value for the
area.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Martin

Martin,
Try instead the option -t pial_lgi as follows:
mris_anatomical_stats -mgz -f
lh.lgi.stats -b -a ../label/lh.aparc.annot -c ../label/
lgi.annot.ctab -t pial_lgi
$SUBJECT lh
Otherwise it will read lh.pial_lgi as a surface file, whereas it is
indeed a thickness / curv file
Have a nice day,
Marie

Thanks for responce, Dough.
I've looked at recon-all as you suggested, and came up with the
following
commandline:
mris_anatomical_stats -mgz -f
lh.lgi.stats -b -a ../label/lh.aparc.annot -c ../label/
lgi.annot.ctab
$SUBJECT lh pial_lgi
This, however yields segfault:
INFO: assuming MGZ format for volumes.
computing statistics for each annotation in ../label/lh.aparc.annot.
reading volume $SUBJECT/mri/wm.mgz...
reading input surface $SUBJECT/surf/lh.pial_lgi...
Segmentation fault
I'm wondering whether this could be related to the fact that
mris_anatomical_stats, calculates mean and stdev on the per-vertex
basis over
the defined label, while here we want it to calculate LGI, which is
not
calculated in this manner.
Thanks,
Martin

use mris_anatomical_stats. Look in recon-all to see how to
invoke it.
You can create another stats file (can't add it to the one that is
already there).

Hi,
is it possible to obtain LGI values of cortices, similarly as
curvature
indices in ?h.aparc.stats? Could this value possibly be
included in
the ?h.aparc.stats files?
Thanks in advance,
Martin
