Thanks Sita. I have struggled with how to capture very ghostly gray matter. Sometimes throwing a CP in it works (I understand now this may be hosing it sometimes) - if AR2-cp w/CPs in white matter is not driving the pial surfaces to capture all the gray - is the only way to capture the ghostly gray matter to directly edit the pial surface?
I was trying to avoid that. I was told don't ever edit the pial surfaces - not sure why though. Will manual edits of the pial surfaces cause other problems in getting surface segmentation stats?
