Hi, Yes, the brain extracted fieldmap image is mainly used for masking (as well as an initial registration). As long as the brain extracted image looks OK and your final unwarping result looks good then this is fine.

The unwarping results in FEAT look ok, so I assume this brain-extracted image serves just as a brain mask. Thanks! Kind regards Pavel Hok fMRI Lab Olomouc BIC Frankfurt am Main
