Abstract(in English) Intersubject brain registration is widely used to describe the loci of brain activation or lesions, and to normalize functional data between individual brains. The present study evaluated three registration algorithms - linear volume-based, nonlinear volume-based, and surface-based methods - using probability and entropy maps. We found that the surface-based method gave the best results for probability (average probability:~0.3) but lost its advantage for entropy (average entropy:~1bits). This suggests that the current technology is from perfect and thus should be used with caution about the limits.
