In the paper Measuring and comparing brain cortical surface area and other areal quantities (Neuroimage, 2012;61(4):1428-43, doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2012.03.026, pmid:22446492), we described the steps to perform pycnophylactic interpolation, i.e., mass-conservative interpolation, of brain surface area. The method is also valid for any other quantity that is also areal by nature.

The scripts to perform the steps we propose in the paper are now freely available for Octave and/or matlab. They can also be executed directly from the shell using Octave as the interpreter. In this case, multiple instances can be easily submitted to run in a cluster. Click here to dowload and for step-by-step instructions.
