David might have more squirreled away on his machine somewhere, but I couldn't 
find this in sumsdb or my archives.

I'm sure some labs around here -- very likely the Snyder Lab -- have used FSL's 
Brain Extraction Tool (BET) on the F99 atlas for various purposes, but I'm not 
aware that they released anything like that for public consumption.  I do know 
from experience that the fractional intensity threshold and gradient matter.  
Possibly loop through several permutations and judge which combo you like best.

There is a fullHead minc volume here:

Bit it's 256x256x180 -- not 240.  I don't think it's the most upstream volume 
we have, but it's the most upstream one I could find.
