Dear Catherine,

As far as I know, spm2 assumes that your files are stored (!) in radiological
orientation on disk (in this case, the variable defaults.analyze.flip should
be set to 1) and displays (!) the same data in neurological orientation. I
don't know how MRIcro handles such things, but I guess it displays the images
in the same orientation as they are stored on disk.

However this does not seem to hold for the overlay->slices option, when
viewing results of SPM-statistics. The image-information in the MIP
(glassbrain), renderings and sections are in neurological convention, but
(for whatever reason) the slices are displayed in radiological convention.

I hope this is right and helps,
Thilo
