Dear Ben,

I have a vague recollection of there once being a bug that caused images to look like that when outside the original FOV. Can you just confirm for me that you are using the latest version of FSL?

The reason I am trying to do this is so that I can apply a linear and a non-linear transformation simultaneously, thereby interpolating once rather than twice. Unexpectedly, the output of applywarp and ApplyXFM are substantially different. The output of ApplyXFM is what I expect to see. The output of applywarp has some kind of artifact along the superior margin of the brain. Does anyone know what this artifact is or what I am doing wrong? Is this a bug in FSL?
