Hi Bastian, actually (see other mail today) it computes percent thickening per year as it is the slope of the linear fit into the measurements (thickness with respect to age or time). If the slope is negative, there is thinning. The results (within subject and on fsaverage) have signs so they

By the way, smoothing can remove the thickening (if there is only a little and mainly thinning ). Best, Martin On 08/05/2013 02:18 PM, Martin Reuter wrote: Hi Bastian, actually (see other mail today) it computes percent thickening per year as it is the slope of the linear fit into the

[Freesurfer] longitudinal stream percentage change

2013-08-02 Thread Bastian Cheng
Dear freesurfer-experts, I have successfully done a longitudinal analysis on cortical thickness changes over 2 timepoints (0 and 1 year). My question is: If I look at the -individual- overlays of perc. change (i.e. pc1fit), only positive values are shown. whereas at the -fsaverage- view,
