Are there instructions somewhere for importing from FreeSurfer to Caret 5.4 somewhere? The only instructions seem to be fairly old and it looks like things have changed a bit since then.

For a while, a student was working on it, but it never went anywhere. Occasionally, people mistake our sulcal depth measure for cortical thickness, but the two are completely different measures. (See David's PALS paper (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=MImg&_imagekey=B6WNP-4H4T34K-1-3&_cdi=6968&_user=4275&_orig=browse&_coverDate=11%2F15%2F2005&_sk=999719996&view=c&wchp=dGLbVzb-zSkzk&md5=0920fddff1134928d23f0a23d746935f&ie=/sdarticle.pdf), figure 1, for a description of sulcal depth.) The only good news I can give those who are interested in cortical thickness is that you can import your freesurfer surfaces and thickness maps into Caret in a mostly automated way, and generate sulcal depth on them, if desired. You can then register them to the PALS_B12 atlas, although this requires drawing our Core6 landmark borders: http://brainvis.wustl.edu/help/landmarks_core6/landmarks_core6.html Due to algorithmic differences between Freesurfer's and Caret's registration algorithms, seeking a "second opinion" can be useful, depending on the nature of your study. For example, the algorithm that best aligns intrasubject anatomy across multiple timepoints may not be ideal for finding group anatomical differences.
