RE: How do I use the -faceMask option? (or, how to fix re-ears clipping into brain)

The participants range 11-13 years old. I will try editing to remove the top third or so of the ear mask region, see if that helps. I will also try tweaking the TIVTolerance options, but like you said, I don't want to compromise the rest of the refacing.


Thanks for the help!



Jonathan,
You may very well be the first person to run mri_reface on people below ~25, at least as far as anyone's ever reported it back to me. We will try to make "young adult" and "peds" templates someday, but I am not surprised that you having some issues. Based on some previous work by others, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full... worse performance on younger heads is a general problem across many available de-facing software (though ours wasn't specifically tested), and those findings were in ages 19-31, so you are quite a bit younger still. 


I would be grateful if you could continue to share your progress to help inform our further development. 


Thanks,
Chris
