As you can see, there is about twice seeded as selected streamlines. Note that this is a brain with stroke (~20% of the brain missing). If you see anything out of place, please let me know so I can fix things before starting the analyses on all subjects.
This is an example of final tractography after sift, the dark part is where the lesion is located from the manual segmentation.
