Hi Doug,
many thanks for your answer, I try to detail it more: 

1.- bbregister is registering two Colin27 brains. First one is a 2mm found in spm/canonical/single_subject_T1.nii, and second one is the FS_spm_Canonical found in SurfRend distribution. It was in .COR format and I run recon-all to have a modern version of it. As they are almost the same brain the registration matrix is quite simple and the registration was perfect. This way I had exactly the same ROI-s for Colin27 in SPM and in FS (it did not work that well for fsaverage, that's why I took this approach). 

2.- In any case, I have several ROI-s in Colin27 space in FS, and then when I try to obtain average CT values from my subjects I use these 2 different approaches: label2label and surf2surf. 
mri_anatomical_stats is run on the labels created by mri_label2label.


If you think it will be of help I can send the detailed command line calls,
thanks!
Gari

Hi Gari, I'll need more information. I can't tell what you are doing.
Eg, what is being registered with BBR? what is mris_anatomical_stats run
on? Where does Colin27 come into it and why?
