Hi,
This has been reported before.
It isn't a problem with the spherical convolution it is just very, very
tiny inaccuracies in the FFT implementation for larger spheres.
You only see the problem if you follow it with "-bin" in fslmaths.
If you instead follow it with "-thr 1e-10 -bin" then it should work fine.
All the best,
Mark
