Alright, thanks for the quick reply! Should I look for some specific
problem with the surfaces which is to be fixed? I mean I imagine a lot of
things can go wrong with a surface, so that I need to know what exactly to
fix? Or is it something more general like this:
http://sites.bu.edu/cnrlab/lab-resources/freesurfer-quality-control-guide/freesurfer-quality-control-step-1-fix-pial-surface/
 ?

And does it look like it affect both pial and white matter surfaces, so
that both need to be fixed?

Sorry for the naive questions and thanks again.
