that's an awfully short TR. Not sure how good the SNR is for the 8 channel, but that might be noisy. We also try to shorten the TE if we can, although you might not be able to. There is an ADNI mprage the exists on the GE platforms, although I'm not sure you're allowed to run it. It's a

mapping the time courses to the average subject does not solve this problem, it just hides it. I'm not sure why this would be of a concern anyway. There might be a tiny difference in the expected variance for each subject, but, unless the region is very small, the differences won't amount for

A few pointers: 1. Try using a fill threshold of 0 (this will take any label point that is in the label. setting the fill thresh to 0.5 means that a voxel needs to be filled half way to be considered for the ROI). 2. I would suggest using nii or mgz as an output format (we have not used
