[Freesurfer] mean cortical thickness not equal to averaged ROIs cortical thickness

2016-06-25 Thread Nabin Koirala
Hi freesurfer team, I extracted the cortical thickness values using aparcstats2table command and I got the cortical thickness values for 34 regions and mean cortical thickness for each hemisphere. But when I averaged the cortical thickness from those 34 regions regions it was different than the me

Hi Nabin unless the areas are the same size, the mean of the areal means won't equal the overall mean. cheers Bruce On Sat, 25 Jun 2016, Nabin Koirala wrote: Hi freesurfer team,  I extracted the cortical thickness values using aparcstats2table command and I got the cortical thickness values

[Freesurfer] Qdec-correction for multiple comparison

2016-06-25 Thread John Anderson
Dear FS experts, I will re post this thread again looking for your help and support:   I ran cortical thickness analysis between two groups using Qdec and I want to correct the results for multiple comparison. In Qdec there are two choices to correct the data for multiple comparison (FDR and m

Dear Bruce, Thank you for the response. So, I more thing if I want to get the mean cortical thickness for whole brain I could simply take the mean between both hemisphere ? If I understood right from the FAQ. Q. I am trying to measure the global mean cortical thickness (i.e combined across hemisp

the mean across both lh.cortex.label and rh.cortex.label should be pretty close. If you want it to be exact you should weight by area then normalize On Sat, 25 Jun 2016, Nabin Koirala wrote: Dear Bruce,  Thank you for the response. So, I more thing if I want to get the mean cortical thickness
