Hi Charlie,

This isn't something specific to tbss_sym, but related to any analysis that
compares both hemispheres. During the process of symmetrisation, the
structures have their positions shifted slightly. Because we should always
identify structures using the anatomical relationships between them (this
implies visual inspection of the results), these shifts are not at all
problem. You certainly have the mean FA map after symmetrisation, which
could be used as a reference and, ideally and much better than that, the
average structural (T1) scans registered to the same (symmetric) space, so
overlay the results on them for anatomical reference should not be an issue.

All the best,

Anderson
