Sorry, look at the power point slides just above that section, the ones here:

These are "surface RAS" or "tkregister RAS". There is a power point
presentation on coord systems on the wiki.

So according to the overview on
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/CoordinateSystems if I
wanted to go from the SurfaceRAS (ie. what the lh.white.ascii is in)
back to the coord system of my original volume, i would transform my
object with the matrix M = inv(xform3)*inv(xform2)*inv(xform1) ?
The diagram leads me to believe this is the same as M = inv(4)*inv(1) ?

The text also says the SurfaceRasFromVoxel matrix is:
[  3x3 part   (t1 - c_r)]
[  same as    (t2 - c_a)]
[  xform0     (t3 - c_s)]
[    0         1     ]

So the inverse of that would be what I'm looking for as well right? In
that case, what is xform0? Just my directional cosines of the original
image? Would t1,t2,t3 =0 then?

thanks for the help,
mishkin

Yes.
