it is classified as GM in the aseg, or does the pial surface include it?
If the former then it doesn't really matter, but if the pial grabs it you
need to edit it.

Hi Sita,
Thank you for your response. Our problem is that skull is being classified as
grey matter, which affects our cortical thickness measures. We ended up doing
manual edits to the brainmask volume for our subjects and rerunning autorecon2
with the wm flag. This has worked on some subjects, but on others we have been
getting this error:
#...@# Fix Topology lh Wed May 6 17:57:58 EDT 2009
\n cp ../surf/lh.orig.nofix ../surf/lh.orig \n
\n cp ../surf/lh.inflated.nofix ../surf/lh.inflated \n
cp: ../surf/lh.inflated: Permission denied
Any suggestions on how to go about fixing this?
Thank you in advance,
Athena

Hi Athena,
Small pieces of skull left is fine as long as the surfaces look okay.
But if they don't or if you want to edit the skull for any other reason,
you can do it manually but be careful not to edit the grey matter, which will
affect the surfaces.
If there is a large chunk of skull remaining or brain missing, you
are better off using the automated procedures to save time instead of the
manual edits. To remove the skull, try different values for the watershed
threshold (20, 15, 10 etc..)
Please refer to this wiki for more info.

Hi,
I am part of a group interested in measuring cortical thickness and we have
had problems with skull stripping. We read on the mailing list that you are
not supposed to delete the skull with the edit voxel tool on the
brainmask.mgz because it affects the surfaces. What would be an appropriate
way to delete/remove the skull? We tried lowering the watershed threshold
(normally at 5) to 3, and found skull still being classified as brain as
well as some brain missing.
Thank you, I look forward to hearing your response.
Sincerely,
Athena
