When you use bbregister, it is expecting the input nii file to represent 
the actual anatomy of the subject, so it does not surprise me that it 
does not work that well. I'm not sure what to do about this because a 
meta analysis image will never have decent anatomy. In theory, it should 
be already in alignment with the mni152, but this is trickier than it 
seems. How do you usually view the results? In FSL or SPM? Do you view 
them on an anatomical image?
