Hi Krish,
Sounds like FAST doesn't keep the negative voxel dimension, but one
thing to consider is that you would probably be better off running FAST
on your data in their original space then registering the data to the
template afterwards. The interpolation that happens as a consequence of
registration won't help with the segmentation, and it's easy to apply
FLIRT transforms to the segmentations afterwards.
Cheers,
Clare

Sorry everyone! This should read:
"it seems as if the Talairach origin is not carried over by **Fast**
either".
It is Fast that I am having problems with, NOT Flirt.
