I must admit to being confused too. I have had a look at the scripts,
and right now I don't have an idea so I would probably need to have a
look at your data.
Could you please tar up your
example_func image file
image file with mask in standard space
highres2standard_warp image file
highres2standard_warp_inv image file
highres2example_func.mat
standard2example_func.mat
image file with mask after transformation into example_func space
and then upload them to http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/cgi-bin/upload.cgi
and send me the reference number?
Jesper
