Hi all,
We're conducting the registration using bbregister that gives us a registration matrix (a .dat file) BUT the original structural file remains intact, i.e. the registered output can be viewed but not stored. Can we store the co-registered structural image as a .nii file? And if so, how? We are using the Connectivity Toolbox that requires structural data to be coregistered with functional data, and there is no way we can feed in the .dat file.
Also, what are your thoughts on first using bbregister for linear coregistration, and then use fnirt on the output to get nonlinear coregistration? We ask this because we are working on a younger population (ages 8-25) with autism spectrum disorder and the data is affected by motion. Should we also be using --init-fsl instead of --init-spm if we want to use fnirt?
Thank you for your help,
Trang
