Can someone please provide further instruction on how I would manual register my problem subjects? When you say "manual" registration do you mean with FLIRT outside of the automated template creating process? If so, there doesn't seem to be a GM ICBM-152 (what the segmented images are registered to in the regular automated template pipeline) listed in the standards folder. Also would I run that registration on the skull stripped file or segment it first as in the automated pipeline and then register? Finally, how does it work when I put registered files in with others that are unregistered into the automated template generation process? Sorry I don't have much experience using FSL.
