if you can skull strip them you should be able to run the stream afterwards. I've never seen an image with the background so high though - it's something you should try to fix on the acquisition end. On Wed, 28 Feb 2007, Anil Roy wrote: Yes, if I just run the raw files, then the brain crashes

Yes, if I just run the raw files, then the brain crashes so I don't get any output. But the background values are high in the orig.mgz file also and the xfm is not accurate. afni however is able to process all these raw files without a problem including the talairach and skull strip. Is there so

You had mentioned that the background values were too high which was probably causing the brain to crash at the skull strip. I don't fully understand anything more than that about the background or if you need some specific details. Here are the specifics of the scan details. Images acquired on a

Hi Bruce, I've been trying to improve the talairach xfm and try different things with afni, but so far nothing has worked out. The brain still crashes at the skull strip. I fed in the afni skull strip to resume the pipeline from autorecon2 but the segmentation was really bad, with the white matte
