Hi Rick,

Thanks for the response! I tried 3dSkullStrip instead but the results look the same. In this case though, I do get this in the terminal output:
#++ removing skull or area outside brain
#Script is running (command trimmed):
  3dSkullStrip -orig_vol -input ./__tt_vr_base_min_outlier_unif_ts_rs+orig -prefix ./vr_base_min_outlier_unif_ts_rs_ns
oo     Warning 3dSkullStrip (SUMA_3dSkullStrip.c:1649):
Input dataset has a very low value range.
If stripping fails, repeat with option -fac 1000

At this suggestion, I added -skullstrip_opts -fac 1000 to my afni_proc.py command so the proc script looks like this:
align_epi_anat.py -anat2epi -anat anatSS.AB1056+orig        \
       -suffix _al_junk                                     \
       -epi vr_base_min_outlier_unif+orig -epi_base 0       \
       -epi_strip 3dSkullStrip                              \
       -anat_has_skull no                                   \
       -cost lpc+ZZ -check_flip -skullstrip_opts -fac 1000 \
       -volreg off -tshift off

However, I am still getting the same result and terminal output as before, so I'm unsure if 3dSkullstrip is applying the -fac 1000 option. Do you happen to have any other suggestions?

Sincerely,
Ian
