This died when trying to do topology correction. Look at the unfixed surface and see if there is something going wrong. Eg, the skull stripping could have left a lot of dura or part of the skull and the initial surface may include some of these things. For example, run cd yoursubject freeview mri/brain.finasurfs.manedit.mgz -f surf/lh.smoothwm.nofix surf/rh.smoothwm.nofix If you see that the skull stripping failed, you can  edit the brain.finalsurfs.manedit.mgz to remove the offending voxels and then rerun recon-all

External Email - Use Caution

Hello! I cannot seem to figure out the problem with this patient. I am newer to using freesurfer, so I am a little lost trying out what I've read in the documentation. Could you help give me some insight on figuring this out?

Thank you in advance,
