Hi Kay,
Can you upload the following?
ANALYZE high-res anatomical,
ANALYZE EPI
SPM matfile for aligning EPI to high-res
SurfVol in BRICK format and one surface, like the smoothwm.asc
I'll see if I can figure it out. I still think it is easiest to stay away from going back and forth between formats.
To answer your last question, I would need more detailed information about the command lines you used. I do suspect you were using a surface volume that had the wrong alignment transform in it. If you have not done so already, I suggest you read section I.2.B.b (under Alignment of Surface to Experimental Data) in SUMA's documentation [
afni.nimh.nih.gov].
You might find the answer to your question there.
cheers,
