Hi,
I am not entirely sure if I understood you correctly. But a few comments.
You say that you try to create a templatewith flirt iterations - do you
upsample the template and use the higher resolution image as reference
for subsequent iterations? This might help a bit.
Regarding the slice padding, it might be possible to extract a single
slice with fslroi, zero it with fslmaths, and than pad it again with
fslmerge, using the option for the correct dimensions. Just make sure,
that the header remains unchanged, i.e. that the origin is the same in
the padded and unpadded volumes.
I hope this helps,
wolf

What this means is that for some fMRI images slice 2 would be bregma 2, but for others slice 2 would be bregma 3. Since there is no mouse brain atlas, I'm trying to average the brains through a series of FLIRT iterations, but this misalignment really warps the averaging. I was wondering if there was a way in FSL that I could change the image in slice 2 to now be in slice 3 so that the brains are more aligned and the averaging won't give me ghost images.
