I wouldn't recommend using that as you asked to do something different (which I explained how to do).

However, I do not really understand in which case the fiber stop. is there a place where I can get more information about this option? Is it better to use this option instead of a mask of FA to 0.15 or 0.2? Is it normal that sometimes I get more fiber with this option than without. Thank you very much Romain 2011/4/5 Matt Glasser <[log in to unmask]> If you want to constrain using FA of 0.15, do this: fslmaths <FA> -thr 0.15 -bin -sub 1 -mul -1 <stopmask> And then use <stopmask> as a stopmask in probtrackx.

It will stop tracts with some probability that is dependent on the partial volume fraction of the fibre direction that has been selected at the last step. Saad.
