The 4th handles any translation. The 3x3 handles rotation and any scale.

Hi Doug, just a very naive question about coordinate change: why do we need the fourth component? I mean, shouldn't be the transformation matrix 3x3 instead of 4x4 for a coordinate change in 3D space? thanks! Gari

Hi Yang, I've computed a matrix that should do the trick. If you are in matlab, then M = [ 0.9975 -0.0073 0.0176 -0.0429 0.0146 1.0009 -0.0024 1.5496 -0.0130 -0.0093 0.9971 1.1840 0 0 0 1.0000] P305 = [MNI305x MNI305y MNI305z 1]'; P152 = M*P305 Can you give this a shot and see if it makes sense? It will probably be hard to tell since the matrix is pretty close to identity. doug On 09/10/2013 05:17 PM, Yang, Daniel wrote: > Thanks, Doug.
