Hi - It is correct that the further you move away from the original grid positions the more interpolation smoothing you get. In 1D this is simple - the smoothing is 'greatest' halfway in between the gridpoints. In general we don't recommend doing such cross-run motion correction anyway - we recommend within-run motion correction and then alignment across-run later - i.e. how FEAT normally does things.
