| see [http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MeanCurvature.html Mean Curvature] | The curvature in general is measured as 1/r, where r is the radius of an inscribed circle. Since mean curvature is the average of the two principal curvatures it has the units of 1/mm. The [[GaussianCurvature|Gaussian curvature]] is the product of them, so it is 1/mm^2. see [[http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MeanCurvature.html|Mean Curvature]] also [[http://brainvis.wustl.edu/wiki/index.php/Folding/Measurements|Van Essen Lab Folding/Measurements]] |
