I'm running on linux (suse 9.0). What I was doing was first using mcflirt to realign the individual runs separately for each diffusion direction (we generally collect 4-5 runs), taking the mean for each direction, then using flirt with 12 dof and mutual information to align across the different diffusion directions. Does that sound reasonable? The data that I sent were all for a single direction, which is presumably why the results of flirt and mcflirt are similar. cheers russ --- Russell A.
