[Simnibs-discuss] Charm Segmentation Issues in Simnibs 4 Beta

[Oula]

Hi Joel,

Did you check the template alignment after forcing the affine from 
headreco? You can also try switching the init_type from "mni" to "atlas" 
in the [samseg] section of the settings file. It also looks like the 
scans don't have neck so please include the --noneck flag if that's the 
case.

If you've tried all these things already, I'm happy to have a look if 
you're allowed to share a scan or two from the data set.

Best,
Oula
