The target has to be the freesurfer anatomical of the target subject (fsaverage in this case). You can get this by specifying --fstarg. The --reg is for the registration file; I'm surprised that the cmd actually ran. You just need to specify an output file with extension. Try the cmd below
mri_vol2surf --mov /.../tstat2.nii.gz --fstarg --mni152reg --hemi rh --surf white --o /.../stats/output.mgh

Hello Freesurfer Experts,
I was wondering if someone can help me understand which options I need to include with mri_vol2surf for the following situation?
I am trying to take group stats generated within FEAT that are in MNI152_2mm space and registrar/project those to fsaverage inflated surface.
When I tried a quick visualization using just tksurfer and overlaying my MNI space vol images, there seemed to be anatomical/registration differences between where each space displayed the stats.
I then attempted to use mri_vol2surf (command below) in hopes of better aligning these two spaces, but the statistical intensity values have been lost and I am not confident that this command worked in the way I thought it might/would like it to.
I am not sure which flags/options may be best in this situation, but any insight you may have is greatly appreciated!
Command used: mri_vol2surf --mov /.../tstat2.nii.gz --ref /.../MNI152_T1_2mm_brain.nii.gz --reg fsaverage --mni152reg --hemi rh --surf white --o /.../stats/
Is part of my problem that I have not specified a particular --out_type?
