Name

mris_make_surfaces - Generates surface files for cortical and white matter surfaces, curvature file for cortical thickness and surface file estimate for layer IV of cortical sheet

Description

This program positions the tessellation of the cortical surface at the white matter surface, then the gray matter surface and generate surface files for these surfaces as well as a 'curvature' file for the cortical thickness, and a surface file which approximates layer IV of the cortical sheet.
