Hi Kiely - Looks like you used flirt for the intra-subject registration, so you can look in trac-all.log for the flirt command line that registers diffusion to anatomical and play around with the parameters.
You can also use bbregister instead of flirt for the intra-subject registration - it has the option to initialize with flirt or with SPM.
Hope this helps, a.y On Wed, 16 May 2012, Kiely Donnelly wrote:
Hi Priti - Thanks for your help. The inter-subject registration seems to have run OK, but there must be something wrong with the intra-subject registration. When I try to view it using freeview, it's completely dark - I don't see a brain at all. Is there a way to troubleshoot this?

The control points going off the dwi is not only for one paths but for all the paths. If the registration goes terribly wrong, this can happen. You can take a look at /dmri/lowb_brain_anat.flt.nii.gz (For intra subject registration diff-anat) and /dmri/brain_anat_mni.nii.gz (For inter-subject registration anat-mni) I would start by checking that first.
