Thanks Donna. Yes, I did use overlay, I was able to see the thickness.metric.
I'm not sure if I need to do brain extraction on T1w and T2w first. I didn't do 
that. Is there anyway I can get one of your original T1w and T2w images so that 
I can repeat the procedures on your data?

Note that after you do File: Open Data File and load MyelinMapping.metric, you 
also have to select D/C: Overlay/Underlay - Surface and change the primary 
overlay to the MyelinMapping column.  This won't change just by loading the 
file.  You may have done this, but just making sure.  I wouldn't expect these 
maps to look alike.

I really don't know about T1wDividedByT2w's orientation.  I'm not as familiar 
with that pipeline as I'd like.  There is a chance it inverts that way on 
purpose, to align with some canonical volume, but it's a stretch.

I will look at this again later with the data I do have and see if I see the 
same thing.
