Hi Emma, I might not be the only one who is unsure what you mean by a vertex-wise cortical surface area measure. Do you mean something like what is illustrated in figures 2 and 3 here:
http://www.pnas.org/content/107/29/13135.figures-only … which is similar, but not identical to the local gyrification index? If so, would you use this measure on surfaces before or after registration to a target atlas?
