Hi Ilana,

Nick kindly helped me addressing this issue in one of my subjects. In my case the brainmask had some cortex stripped from
the top and the failure had stemmed from there. I would suggest that you also check your brainmask.mgz and see if the skull stripping was successful there. If that is the case you can correct it by adjusting the watershed value (increase it). Please check this link:

Hi Nasim,

can you tar and gzip the entire subject dir and send it to us? I'll try
to track it down. In the mean time if you just rerun with the old topo
fixer it should work. Nick can post the appropriate flags

cheers
Bruce
