Hi Bas,
how nice that others are asking this question, too :)
If I remember correctly, the AAL labels (PMID: 11771995) were derived
from the Colin 27 high-resolution single subject brain, meaning they fit
this brain very well. They may also fit pretty well when applied to
other brains out there in MNI space, but as soon as you move away with
your population and/or template (you can see where I am going :) ...
some years ago, I used the AAL brain to parcellate children's brains,
and first matched it to my template before doing this (PMID 14527581).
Also, I usually smooth and binarize such masks before applying them to a
population, particularly when assessing t-maps or con images, as these
are usually derived from smoothed images anyway. Also, in my personal
opinion, I believe that using very small masks is problematic as it
assumes your spatial registration is very good, which may or may not be
the case.
Not sure this answered your question, or anyone's, but I thought I'd say
it anyway :)
Cheers,
Marko
