Is there any way to get a measure of absolute surface area of, e.g., the
pial surface of an individual? If so, can this be run on cut portions
of the cortical surface (e.g., the occipical pole)? We worked our way to
the point at which freesurfer has created a model of the surface of each

should be able to convert it to ascii using mris_convert in the usual way.
Also, note that the vertex index is invariant across the
