Dear Max, I would give Ben's suggestion a try and just change: matlabbatch{1}.spm.tools.fieldmap.presubphasemag.subj.defaults.defaultsval.blipdir = 1; to matlabbatch{1}.spm.tools.fieldmap.presubphasemag.subj.defaults.defaultsval.blipdir = -1; and see what happens. Maybe that will solve your problem.
