The SureFit algorithm is complex algorithm that identifies the  
cerebral cortex.  It is described in "Van Essen, D.C., Drury, H.A.,  
Dickson, J., Harwell, J., Hanlon, D., and Anderson, C.H. and (2001).  
An integrated software suite for surface-based analyses of cerebral  
cortex. Journal of American Medical Informatics Association .  
8:443-459".  This paper can be downloaded from 
"http://brainvis.wustl.edu/wiki/index.php/Lab:Publications 
" or http://www.jamia.org/cgi/content/abstract/8/5/443. If you are  
unable to get the full text version, I can make a PDF version  
available to you, just let me know.

The "Threshold Into Segmentation" menu item simply creates a  
segmentation using all voxels that have a value within the selected  
range of values.  It might be useful for segmenting a subcortical  
structure.
