        External Email - Use Caution        

I think the error is pretty clear:

RuntimeError: Surface inner skull is not completely inside surface outer skull

forward model requires nested compartments. Use plot_bem to check the quality
of the MRI segmentation

I don't remember what it said but there was certainly an error stoping me from going further in the analysis. I used the numbers in conductivities from a tutorial in mne. I don't know if these numbers change and how to obtain them.

If I do 3 the output is an error if I choose 1 layer the output in forward solution is an error pointing to 3 layers in BEM model. What can I do?
