I had one more question:
What transform do I apply to get all the norm.mgz of all timepoints of a subject to get the normalized image in MNI atlas space. Is this the one inside mri/transforms/talairach.xfm?
More precisely, for all subjects, will something like this work?
mri_convert norm.mgz normInMNI.img --apply_transform transforms/talairach.xfm -oc 0 0 0 -oni 256 -onj 256 -onk 256 -vs 1.0 1.0 1.0 --out_data_type float"

Thanks,
Prasanna

Hi Prasanna, the norm.mgz sounds like the best fit. Though I'm not sure
what you mean by all the images registered to the 1st time point. If you
are doing a longitudinal analysis, then following the longitudinal
stream will result in a set of norm.mgz's that will be in alignment (but
not to the 1st time point, which you would not want because it causes bias).
