My versions of caret_command can read them all, and the coords/metric all have 
roughly 164k nodes -- all good.

But I still don't have your command line, or inputs like I'd expect to a paired 
t-test, if that's what you're doing.

For each subject, I have a metric that has a column for 3D variability and a 
column for areal distortion.  I doubt that you want to get a paired difference 
between these disparate measures.

What you need, as input to the paired t-test, is a composite metric/shape with 
one column per subject.  One composite might have left sulcal depth, the other 
right, for example.  "It doesn't get any more paired than the left and right 
hemispheres of a person's brain."  --Tom Nichols

But it could be thickness at different timepoints, twins' thickness maps -- 
anything you can pair.  But the two composite input files should have equal 
numbers of columns, and those columns should be paired (i.e., first col of each 
file corresponds to one another; second col of each file corresponds to one 
another; and so on).

Hope this helps.
