Hi Peter,

Thanks for getting back, here are some images (sorry I can never get the image upload in afni to work properly)

This is the problematic participant, P07_LV

With giant move - big fail

With ginormous move - better but still bad

Thanks for the link, that's where I got the idea for the nudge and 3dAllineate from - which works well for the problematic P07_LV (note the apparent misalignment at the front and back looks to be due to signal drop out, apparent when viewed at higher overlay threshold)

This is for the other participant where I had more success

Giant move, ginormous move and nudge + giant move all produce nearly identical results (you have to really look closely to see the differences). It looks like the below. The alignment in frontal/ medial areas seems to be quite off still with these methods

I've never had any luck using lpc+ZZ cost function in alignment with my data, they always turn out warped. Perhaps because it is partial data and I should try lpa lpa+ZZ as Daniel suggests?

Happy to share data if that might be helpful. Thank you for your help!
