When you coregister, SPM asks for a "reference" image, a "source" image, and
"other" images.  The "source" image is moved to match the "reference" image.
If you specify any "other" images, then these are moved in the same way as
the "source" image.  This would probably have been easier.

For more information about the meaning of the affine transform matrix, take a
