Hi there Simon,
it is hard to say without seeing your data. One known problem is when your images have a high signal from marrow in the cranial bone compared to what is present in the MNI template. If you tar and upload your T1 image before and after fnirting I can have a look at it and perhaps give some advice.

Hi all,
We used HCP's PreFreeSurferPipeline.sh to non-linearly register the T1w volumes in our dataset to the MNI152 template brain (MNI152_T1_1mm_brain.nii.gz) and found that the output brains appear larger than perhaps they should compared to the MNI152 template brain. For example, X,Y,Z coordinate 91,183,41 is located at the perimeter of the output brains but the same coordinate is located well outside the perimeter of the MNI152 template brain. How can we optimise FNIRT to get a more accurate non-linear registration?
Thank you,
