Hello,
Looking through my "QA normalization: functional data + outline of MNI TPM template" output, quite a few of my subjects appear to have issues with the top and bottom most slices, with the bottom slices missing activation within the outline or having dark spots outside the outline (which I'm assuming are from the eyeballs) and the top slices having a sort of "halo" around the data (which I'm assuming is an artifact from the skull). I'm attaching one subject as an example. If I am using the the default explicit voxel-level analysis mask in my setup > options, is this data outside the brain going to removed for analysis and not a major concern, or are there other steps I need to take to fix my data?
Thank you,
-Rachel
