Hi Colin, Thanks for your feedback, and for checking that out with your data! I'm guessing the default with the FSL function --fd is also 0.5mm: http://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki/FSLMotionOutliers J. ps. Very cool concept with Neuroanalysis Consulting, and the idea of outsourcing analysis! And I see you work with Jean here at Rotman!
