Hi J-M, In the anatomical processing pipeline, ft_checkcoordsys should make the transformation of the cortical sheet (source space) from one coordinate system (FS, MNE Suite) to the other (FT, subject's headspace). Lilla

Hmm, this was indeed the original plan. Yet, the transformation needs some amount of user interaction, and therefore I think ft_volumerealign is the place to implement this. For now it supports (implicitly) conversion between CTF-based and Talairach-based coordinate systems. It looks as if Freesurfer manages Talairach-based coordinate systems quite well, without the need of explicitly using the Freesurfer coordinate system conventions (are handled within Freesurfer). At the moment ft_volumerealign also outputs a transformorig (which is the original coregistration matrix). The transformation from the old-coordsys to the new-coordsys can be achieved by: T = mri.transform*inv(mri.transformorig); Also, see: http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/development/minimum_norm_estimate_in_fieldtrip
