The problem with this is that you will get different results when you use the left hemi and the right-flipped-to-left hemi as compared to the right hemi and the left-flipped-to-right hemi. You'll actually get different areas that appear to be significant. This is because the right-flipped-to-left is registered to the left template target and it does not register as well as the left registered to the left template target (and the same in the other direction). I'm sure it means something, but I don't know how to interpret it.

Hi Doug,
if we flip raw MR images (in a subset of subjects) and process them through recon-all, we would end up registering left to right and right to left hemisphere in these Ss. Shouldn't the error/quality then be comparable on both hemispheres?! Within the whole group, these flipped Ss may contribute to greater error variance in both hemispheres, but we should still be able to interpret any group effects in any region... or am I missing a point?
Best regards and thanks, Kai

I am not sure, but do you really want to register left to right within a subject? From what I read, you want too pool the different types and then compare the groups, right?
For that it should be enough to simply invert the images (left/right) and process it through recon-all or just flip the surfaces, or am I wrong?
This seemed like a good idea to me at first too. The problem is that when you register both the left and right to the left hemi template, the left registers better, so you end up with a systematic bias. And you get different results if you register to the right hemi instead (very bad). The right solution is to create a single atlas that consists of both lh and rh targets. I have an alpha version of this, but I'm not ready to distribute it yet.

I've been working on this piece-meal. I think it's a bad idea to just throw stuff out there without testing it. It will instantly become the standard and then it will be a mess to try to undo.
