Hi M - You generally want to register the lower-res to the higher-res image. In this case, that’s diffusion to T1. Check the diffusion processing tutorial on the freesurfer wiki for how you can apply the inverse transform to the aparc+aseg to get it into diffusion space.
Best, a.y

Hi,
I understand that bbregister can be used to register diffusion to T1 space but I'm a lot less certain how this can be done in the reverse way, i.e. registering the entire aparc+aseg file to diffusion B0? Do I also do: bbregister --s $subject --mov bo_brain.nii.gz --reg registration2b0.dat --dti --init-fsl
To follow up, I'm also unclear whether this method is inferior to registering diffusion to T1 - if so, why may this be so?
Thanks a lot in advance, M.
