Dear FreeSurfer experts,
during inspection of reconstructions of our data, I found that in many cases the pial (and sometimes also white) surface is extending out of the brain and encircling the optical chiasm. Does this situation has any effect to the results (i.e. cortex parcellation, whole-brain group thickness or local gyrification index analysis), i.e. is it an reconstruction error which should be manually corrected? Or can we safely ignore it?
Regards,
Antonin Skoch
Hi Antonin
it is probably fine, but can you send us an image so that we can see?
