Thanks, Doug! Got it. So FreeSurfer registers the individual scans to the MNI305 atlas but mri_surfcluster reports approx. Talairach coordinates with the default option: —fixmni
I was a little bit confused because this website (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/CoordinateSystems) says that the following: "Note on Talairach: FreeSurfer<https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FreeSurfer> does not report true "Talairach" coordinates. The coordinates listed unter "Talairach" are actually based on Matthew Brett's 10/8/98 non-linear transform from MNI305 space (see http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/Imaging/mnispace.html). FreeSurfer<https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FreeSurfer> also reports "Talairach MNI" coordinates. These are MNI305 space.” If my understanding is correct, by default, the “Talairach” coordinates reported by mri_surfcluster (with —fixmni) are non-linear transformation from the MNI305 space; they are approx. Talairach coord as you suggested. And If I ever use —nofixmni, then it is what is internally used by FreeSurfer, the MNI305 space, or the "Talairach MNI” coordinates. Is the understanding above correct?
