Hi all,     I am getting this error copied below. Since I am just using the head model for coregistration, it is not essential it not have any imperfections. So is there a way preferably to get the error not to occur or if not bypass the error?

That worked, thanks Eric. Still not sure why those warnings are coming up but neck, eyes a little bit and lower face of the head.fif were very noisy and poorly reconstructed. That shouldn't effect anything however. Thanks, Alex
