Re: [Freesurfer] Thickness standard deviation map

The easiest thing is #2. It will produce rstd.mgh as an output, and 
that's what you want.

Hi Freesurfers,

I have tried looking this up on the list, but I don't understand 
exactly what to do in this scenario: I have a group of subjects (all 
controls).  I want to create a surface map of the standard deviations 
of the thickness values (i.e. to show how the thicknesses vary across 
subjects).  I am not sure what is the easiest way to go about this - 
can I:


1) simply convert the ?h.thickness files to .asc and calculate the 
deviations at each vertex (I am under the impression that this is not 
correct as they need to be registered to a common surface first), then 
convert back to .thickness and load into tksurfer


2) use mris_preproc then mris_glmfit?  I don't necessarily want to 
calculate any stats, but I wouldn't mind a pretty picture :)


If I have 4 groups of 10 subjects each, so if I churn these all 
through glm_fit will I be able to access separate thickness files for 
each group? And how can I map standard deviations for each group in 
this scenario?


Many thanks,

Rysia

not really, since they contain both gyral and sulcal regions. Better than 
the whole surface I guess, but spatial standard deviations don't mean a 
whole lot - it's the cross subject ones you care about

Hi Sasha,

the standard deviation across the surface isn't a very meaningful
number,
since the thickness isn't spatially stationary.

cheers,
Bruce
