try what I suggested and see if that helps

Here is an example of what AR2 looks like (without playing with niterations
or anything like that to reduce the overall hypterintensity). The white
matter line is much closer to the pial line than it should be.

      Hi Erin

      that can happen if you lose too much dynamic range when
      "conforming". What does the orig.mgz look like? What voxel
      format is the afni file in (uchar? float?) mri_convert has a -ns
      1 flag to turn off intensity scaling ("no scale"). If the brik
      was in float you could use something like (from the mri dir)

      mri_convert file.BRIK orig/001.mgz -odt uchar -rl orig.mgz
      --out-scale <N> -ns


      this will turn off auto scaling (-ns) then use the scale factor
      you supply isntead (<N>), which you should estimate to bring
      white matter intensities to around 110.

      cheers
      Bruce

            It seems like it getting darker messes up the
            normalization later on; could
            this be the case? Here's what it looks like in AFNI
            (1029-afni.jpg), and
            here's what it looks like after we run motioncor
            (1029-orig.jpg).

                  that will not change the intensities at all.
            It is probably just
                  a display issue. Try changing the
            brightness/contrast. The
                  artifact might cause problems later on, but
            this  is not an
