Hi Bruce

Attached here are two screenshots.  One is the original template-aligned T1, another is the "mirrored" T1.  You can see how in the mirrored image there is overlap of the 2 hemispheres after flipping over the X axis where the central sulcus should be, as well as gaps where the corpus callosum would normally be.  I have other subjects where these characteristics are exaggerated or less severe.

Thanks

Kristian
