PS: not 27 mL (!), much less than that... Still, 3 mm is quite a big voxel!

> Save yourself the hassle and use your data with 2 or 1 mm resolution. And
> if you could do it from the very beginning of the analysis, even better, as
> each 3mm voxel has volume of 27 mL -- a very coarse resolution to conclude
> anything.

> Finally, remember that the use of autoaq is just for a quick, overall
> anatomic reference. You can still get the same information if you look at
> your images side-by-side with the atlas, or follow an anatomy textbook.
