Hi all,

I was wondering how to edit the voxels of a mask (the name of which is
"lh.stg.mask.mgz") so that each voxel would be a value of 1 (if I try adding
voxels in tkmedit, their values are 255). Additionally, we use this mask to
isolate STG. But instead of a simple binary mask, this mask keeps the white
matter values within STG intact (and anything outside is 0). Would adding
voxels to the mask in tkmedit change this function? Thanks

Dan
