Hello Matt, I get the coordinates based on the peak activation for several brain areas for each subject. I get the peak activation by thresholding. I want to use these coordinates and make spherical ROIs in FSL. After I create these spherical ROIs, I want to use them as seeds for tractography. The ROIs will be in MNI space for each subject. Tractography only runs in diffusion space, so I would like to know whether the transformation matrices (MNI space to native space, and native space to MNI space) are available somewhere.
Thanks.
