Yes, that is correct.
The creation of the corrThickness file is done in the CreateMyelinMaps.sh script in the PostFreeSurfer pipeline:
${CARET7DIR}/wb_command -metric-regression "$AtlasSpaceFolder"/"$NativeFolder"/"$Subject"."$Hemisphere".thickness.native.shape.gii "$AtlasSpaceFolder"/"$NativeFolder"/"$Subject"."$Hemisphere".corrThickness.native.shape.gii -roi "$AtlasSpaceFolder"/"$NativeFolder"/"$Subject"."$Hemisphere".roi.native.shape.gii -remove "$AtlasSpaceFolder"/"$NativeFolder"/"$Subject"."$Hemisphere”.curvature.native.shape.gii
And the usage statement for -metric-regression is:
-metric-regression
REGRESS METRICS OUT OF A METRIC FILE
   wb_command -metric-regression
      <metric-in> - the metric to regress from
      <metric-out> - output - the output metric

      [-roi] - only regress inside an roi
         <roi-metric> - the area to use for regression, as a metric

      [-column] - select a single column to regress from
         <column> - the column number or name

      [-remove] - repeatable - specify a metric to regress out
         <metric> - the metric file to use

         [-remove-column] - select a column to use, rather than all
            <column> - the column number or name

      [-keep] - repeatable - specify a metric to include in regression, but not
         remove
         <metric> - the metric file to use

         [-keep-column] - select a column to use, rather than all
            <column> - the column number or name

      For each regressor, its mean across the surface is subtracted from its
      data.  Each input map is then regressed against these, and a constant
      term.  The resulting regressed slopes of all regressors specified with
      -remove are multiplied with their respective regressor maps, and these
      are subtracted from the input map.

Subject: Re: [HCP-Users] 2 thickness files

I have a follow-up question on what you mean by "regressed out." If thickness_v = b0 + b1*curvature_v + error_v for the vth location, is corrThickness_v = thickness_v - b1*curvature_v?

Also, I am conducting a multisubject analysis of cortical thickness. Is it your opinion that MSM-All offers the best registration across subjects? It's not clear to me if the addition of information from resting-state correlations would benefit my analysis, so I will probably also look at results using MSM-Sulc.

Thank you,
Ben

Thickness is the raw thickness output from FreeSurfer.  CorrThickness has the linear effects of curvature regressed out.  It is better for seeing how thickness changes across cortical areas (as the surface folding exerts a strong effect on cortical thickness by making gyri thicker and sulci thinner).

Peace,

Matt.

Subject: [HCP-Users] 2 thickness files

Dear Experts,


What is the difference between subID.L.corrThickness.native.shape.gii

and subID.L.thickness.native.shape.gii?

Both are in the preprocessed directory, MNINonLinear/Native


For example: 100307.L.corrThickness.native.shape.gii

and 100307.L.thickness.native.shape.gii

 

Where I can obtain a detailed description of both files?


best,

Peka
