What if the cortical areas really are asymmetric (as was reported for area
44 in Amunts et al 1999).

Peace,

That article says that morphologic asymmetries of area 44 provide a putative correlate of the functional lateralization of speech production. 
Calculating laterality index we just look for the lateralization of speech production, so I think we shouldn't influence the calculation of this index with the prejudge of asymmetry. Therefore in my opinion using symmetrical ROIs are more rationale. Could anybody help with my original questions in my previous mail?

Thanks,
