NAME

mris_make_surfaces

SYNOPSIS

mris_make_surfaces [options] <subject name> <hemisphere>

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.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
