Thanks in advance for your help! We are processing HCP-YA dataset using XCP-D and need the final outputs to be in MNI152NLin2009cAsym space. This is important because our subsequent analyses involve other datasets, which also use MNI152NLin2009cAsym space. Our goal is to use the final pre-processed BOLD in MNI space as input for the next step of our analysis. Is it possible to achieve this directly with XCP-D or would we need to ensure this is handled in a different way?
HCP-YA NIfTI outputs are in MNI152NLin6Asym space, and XCP-D doesn’t warp files to new output spaces yet, so there’s no way to get MNI152NLin2009cAsym NIfTI outputs directly from XCP-D. You could apply the transform after running XCP-D though. There’s an MNI152NLin6Asym-to-MNI152NLin2009cAsym transform available on TemplateFlow and you can apply that transform to the XCP-D NIfTI outputs with antsApplyTransforms or nitransforms.
