Hi Bruce,
The nu.mgz volume is has the most pronounced contrast between grey and white matter. The orig.mgz volume blurs the distinction between white/grey matter to a point where it is difficult to tell by visually inspecting it. The grey matter in the orig.mgz volume has values as high as 147-155 while the grey matter in the nu.mgz volume is 95-101 on average. Regardless the surface or white matter boundaries do not extend to where my control points are placed. I will attach a shot of these volumes if it necessary.
Thank you for your help. Gonzalo

Hi Gonzalo
it's hard to tell from just that image. What does it look like before normalization (e.g. the nu.mgz or orig.mgz)? Is there gray/white contrast there?
cheers Bruce

Hello Freesurfers,
There are some areas of grey and white matter that are rendered with similar brainmask values ranging from 100
- 122 for some of my participants. I have added control points in order
to identify which voxels are white matter, but they are excluded from wm.mgz, as well as the white and grey matter boundaries. Is this a normalization error? Are the motion artifacts visible in the T1 a factor?
