I'm not sure what will happen. Safest to just recreate it:

cd subject/mri
mri_watershed T1.mgz brainmask.auto.mgz

Alright I converted the COR files to mgz fine, and saved the volume as
brainmask.mgz.  All looks good.  But before I run -autorecon2, am I
going to run into problems because I only have a brainmask.mgz and not a
brainmask.auto.mgz?  (I deleted the old brainmask.auto.mgz because it
was the old volumes before I corrected them manually).  I just want to
make sure I am good to run -autorecon2 before I go ahead and begin it.

Quoting Bruce Fischl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

  
but you'll need to convert the COR file you saved to brainmask.mgz if
you 
want to recover your edits (4 hours of manual editing!).

The brainmask.mgz file is the one that should be edited (and
      
saved), so
    
select that filename to save.  Then just continue with autorecon2
      
(and
    
it will use your brainmask.mgz).  It will not overwrite your
brainmask.mgz unless you specify the aptly named '-clean-bm' flag
      
to
    
recon-all.

folder of
    
this subject.  When i pull up my brainmask, it is giving me the
        
same one
    
that it had before i made any changes.  I hope i didnt do
        
something
    
wrong and lost all the edits.  There is 256 COR files though now
        
in my
    
mri folder for this subject I noticed.  Maybe these are the
        
edited
    
slices?  Just let me know how to get my final brainmask and how
        
to
    
proceed with running -autorecon2 on it properly.  Thanks.

it helps detect cases in which the deformation is too big (e.g.
          
when
    
the
surface deforms all the way into the cerebellum), and can thus
recover from
e.g. cerebellum chopping.

I am currently in the process of manual editing...just curious
            
though,
          
what exatly does adding an atlas do to the skullstrip process?

Quoting Nick Schmansky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

            
First have a look at the troubleshooting wiki pages at:


              
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/TroubleshootingData
    
In particular, Subject 1 has a skull strip problem, and the
              
fix
    
info
          
is
here:


              
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/SkullStripFix
    
I'm guessing you have seen this page since you have already
attempted
one type of fix (adjusting the watershed parameters).  The
alternative
fix is the slice-by-slice manual editing.

You could also try adding the wsatlas flag:

  recon-all -s (subject) -skullstrip -wsatlas

which will use an atlas to help with the skull-strip.

Does the contrast of your image look good?  That is, comparing
              
your
          
orig.mgz to that of the sample subject 'bert' included with
freesurfer?

I am having trouble with one of my skull strips, and getting
                
very
          
extreme results.  When I re-run the skullstrip using
                
different
    
watershed
              
values, anything at 56% or below takes 75%+ of the brain out,
                
and
          
as
              
soon as I jump to 57% or higher, it leaves on almost all of
                
the
    
skull,
              
except for maybe 5% of it.  Is this indicative of a more
                
complicated
              
problem, and what is my next step (other than manually taking
                
off
          
the
              
skull), if any?
Thanks
