I see. We usually have 2mm isotropic diffusion voxels and an order of magnitude fewer voxels in the mask. So the high memory requirement here has to do with the high resolution of your data. These bedpost output files that it's trying to read in have 50 frames each, so you have to multiply tha

Hi Ammar - Can you check the voxel dimensions of one of the merged_* files in the bedpost directory, and also how many voxels are included in the mask that was used for bedpost? It seems to be failing when loading the bedpost outputs, which is before it reads any tracula-specific inputs. a.y
