Hi Doug,

I don't think that could have happened as I only found out about the no-subcort-mask option yesterday (after I had done all the original analysis).

I have just re-run all the analyses for the same subject with the same commands on the two machines (output of bugr for the 2 machines is below). I had deleted everything from this subject's bold directory except the f.nii and para.para files for each run, so that everything is re-analyzed. I get the same problem as before. I attach a screen capture of freeview with my bold/analysis.mni/mask.nii overlaid on freesurfer/average/mni305.cor.mgz from the two machines. As you can see, they are different. They only look the same if I re-run the analysis on snowleopardv5.3.0 with preproc-sess -no-subcort-mask.

Thanks again,
Leila

They do have the same default. Note that if you run  preproc-sess with
-no-subcort-mask and then run it again without -no-subcort-mask it will
not generate a new file. Could that have happened?
