[Freesurfer] Rotation involved in recon-all

Hi,

Using recon-all (freesurfer v5.1.0, MacOSX10.6) I noticed a rotation of the T1 data early in the pipeline, i.e., converting rawavg.mgz to orig.mgz., see excerpt of output of mri_info below

rawavg.mgz:

xform info: x_r = 0.0081, y_r = -0.0913, z_r = 0.9958, c_r = 0.0813 : x_a = -0.9999, y_a = -0.0066, z_a = 0.0076, c_a = 14.8386 : x_s = 0.0059, y_s = -0.9958, z_s = -0.0913, c_s = 13.1335

orig.mgz:

xform info: x_r = -1.0000, y_r = -0.0000, z_r = 0.0000, c_r = 0.0813 : x_a = 0.0000, y_a = -0.0000, z_a = 1.0000, c_a = 14.8386 : x_s = 0.0000, y_s = -1.0000, z_s = 0.0000, c_s = 13.1335

Is that the default way of processing the data?

Cheers, Ed
