[Freesurfer] Trouble specifying contrast vectors

Hi Alex, you are not looking at a "one sample group mean" (osgd) so don't pass that flag. Your design is probably something like 1 A other_co_vars_to_regress_out (these are column vectors). so contrast in that case would be [ 0 1 0... ] That should create all outputs. All of this is really cr

No, not currently. This is quite a hard problem even if you have a T2. The pulse sequences are usually low enough bandwidth that fat from the scalp and skull marrow shift into the CSF spaces making it impossible to properly segment that area as CSF. If you wanted an approximate value, you coul
