The ideal way to do this (most correct with respect to subject anatomy)
might be to generate the ROIs on every subject (structural space or MNI
space MSMAll midthickness, depending on how you want to deal with things
like brain size variability), then average them together and threshold at
0.5.  This way, it uses the exact distances on subject surfaces, rather
than an approximation.  You could also do this with a few dozen subjects
instead of the entire set, to get a similar answer with less computation
time.

We do have a way to approximate the original geodesic distances by using
the average vertex areas, but that command doesn't currently have an option
for it - it isn't that hard to add, though.
