hi Vitoria,
is this a tpm (the default output of ft_volumesegment)? Have you also
tried to segment this mri with an output for 'brain','skull','scalp'?
because when you have a binary representation for these tissue-types, they
do not overlap, and are closed. So, I am wondering if you end up with a
brainmask which do not contain the artifact at the top of the head.
