[Freesurfer] problem with c_ras in converted AFNI .BRIK

2012-11-19 Thread Tom Holroyd (NIH/NIMH) [E]
If I do "3dcopy ortho+orig ortho.nii" then 3dinfo shows that the two datasets share the same coordinate system, however when I use mri_info, the results differ. For example, 3dinfo, both .BRIK and .nii: Geometry String: "MATRIX(0,0,-1,127,1,0,0,-127,0,-1,0,180):256,256,256" R-to-L extent: -1
