Hi,
If you use the -n option in tbss_2_reg then the most representative
subject in your study will be used as the reference in the nonlinear
registrations.
Then, when it comes to tbss_3_postreg you can try using the -S option
- all datasets will be affine-transformed into the human MNI152, but
you may not mind about that. If you want to keep things all in
"proper" macaque-space, then you may just want to restrict the flirt
call in tbss_3_postreg to having -dof 6, and hope that it still gives
a sensible (ie symmetric) registration to MNI152. Let me know if this
stage gets confusing.
Cheers, Steve.
