Sorry about that!
I'm resending with previous emails.

There is something different in the analysis of volume and surface area in
relation to the analysis of cortical thickness? Like some more command, or some
other detail that must be changed (besides, of course, the flag that specifies
the measure to be analyzed) - I'm already using permutation in the correction
of multiple comparisons.

Yes, it is. It is confusing when you talk about area and volume since these are
not point measures like thickness (ie, what is the volume or area of a
vertex?). The area of a vertex is computed as the mean of the adjacent
triangles of the vertex. The volume is the mean of the neighboring truncated
tetrahedra. When you run mris_preproc, it will apply a jacobian correction
(like VBM). Otherwise, it operates the same as if you had a thickness value at
the vertex, ie, same GLM, etc. Make sure to use permutation for correction of
multiple comparisons.

Hello FreeSurfer Developers,
I would like to know if it is correct to perform volume and surface area
analysis using freesurfer's GLM!?
In several mailing list questions I have already seen instructions for
performing these types of analysis. But I understand that freesurfer does
vertex-wise analysis in the 2D surface space. So, it is not clear to me how it
is possible to evaluate a 3D measurement, as volume, with a 2D method!?
I've also read that surface area analysis via vertex-wise analysis doesn't make
much sense. The best would be to do ROI-based analysis. Can you explain that to
me?
Thanks in advance!

Assunto: Re: [Freesurfer] GLM analysis - volume and surface area
Sorry, your previous emails were cut off so I'm not sure what command you are
referring to.
