Oh! Sorry about that!
This is a regular EPI dataset. I just chose this colour scheme in the overlay, because I find it easier to see if anatomical markers (e.g. ventricles) are lining up with the underlay. But this a regular EPI with continuous intensity. The anat I enter into align_epi_anat is also skull-stripped (and the skull-stripping is good). I'm doing volume registration, skull-stripping, etc in separate steps because align-epi-anat is crashing for a lot of my subjects when these steps are done together.
I'm just concerned about the voxels that fall outside the brain. These voxels are introduced in the alignment step because the epi before alignment looks okay. I'm also concerned about all the bleeding out in the normalised EPI. Is that normal?
Thank you,
