Hello, I wonder if anyone using AFNI converted freesurfer files has come across this problem (or can tell me if I making an error somewhere that I am just not seeing right now). I posted the same question on the AFNI board but haven't gotten feedback as yet.
Here is the problem:
After using freesurfer to get subcortical segmentations, I converted the resulting freesurfer files to AFNI format, which was fine - I had no problems doing that. However, when I try use these subcortical segmentation data files (subjectID_aseg_m_at3+tlrc) as masks to pull put PSC signal from each region of interest, I am getting an odd effect of right versus left; whereby left clusters output is fine ( voxel numbers are correct after 3dmaskave), but for the left it is very wrong. I have checked that the labels of the ROIs I am using are correct on AFNI GUI and they are. (code and output below)
I am a bit at a loss; any help will be much appreciated.
