I have done searchlight MVPA for GM matter volumes and deformation based measurements sucessfully. But I have converted .gii files of cortical thickness to .mat and awaiting to do searchlight MVPA. Is there any special method to do this?

Why people use higher smoothing kernels for surface based measurements of brain?

Generally for tissue volumes(GM, WM and DBM) we use 8-12 FWHM for smoothing. But in some softwares recommend 15 mm for cortical thickness and 20-25 mm for all other indexes (gyrification, cortical...
