Hi,

It is worth pointing out here that we don't recommend this approach to registration (using an intermediate T2) and I would advise you to just go from the epi to the T1 to standard.  If you turn on fieldmap correction, FSL currently assumes that the "initial highres" is a wholebrain EPI, and applies the fieldmap distortion correction to it.  At the moment this behaviour cannot be turned off in the GUI and if you really want to use both an intermediate T2 image _and_ fieldmaps, then you will have to run it yourself outside of the GUI.  You can always do this and then copy the resulting registration into the FEAT directory and run "updatefeatreg" to incorporate these results into the FEAT pipeline.

I hope this helps.
All the best,
	Mark

Is this a bug or what can I do about this? P.S. I am using a design file optimized for use with a previous version of fsl, before bbr was incorporated. In case that matters...
