StrainR values are 2x higher than StrainJ in general. As for acceptable values, keep in mind things like areal distortion/StrainJ are Log2 of the number. That means that +/-2 means 4 fold expansion or contraction. What is acceptable might vary from application to application. In general, one wants accurate alignment without severe distortions for a functional alignment (different from a folding alignment where one wants to constrain distortions so as to avoid overfitting folding patterns).

Beyond that, there isn’t currently a quantitative way to do this. Matt.

I currently check areal distortion maps (and make sure the values aren’t too large, e.g. more/less than 2/-2) and visually compare individual RSN and myelin maps to the atlas ones though this involves a bit of subjective judgment and doesn’t take into account subjects with genuine atypical topographies. Is there a more quantitative approach available?
