Hi Mohamed
the segmentations are in the individual subject "conformed" space. The talairach.m3z is what is used to transform GCA to the conformed coords

Hi all,
I've performed FS subcortical segmentation and my purpose is to use these segmentations as seeds to another method. As FS uses GCA atlas to perform subcortical segmentation, I want to know if the aseg.mgz output is in GCA atlas space, or in original space except that the dimensions are 256x256x256, 1mm.
On the other hand, I also need to convert expert segmentations in native space to GCA atlas space, that is, the inverse of the process explained in http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsAnat-to-NativeAnat. I don't know if there is a command to do so, or we have to use a transformation matrix. In the latter case, FreeSurfer creates several tranformation matrices: talairach.lta, talairach.xfm, talairach.m3z....but it's is not clear which one I should use.
Thank you in advance!!
