External Email - Use Caution        

Hello,
I've just started using Freesurfer this week and I'm quite confused about
coordinate systems.
Specifically, I have SEEG electrode locations that have been digitized in
MRI RAS space, and I'm trying to apply a transform matrix so that these
electrodes will be registered with the same brain that I performed
recon-all on using Freesurfer, so that I can do further analysis in MNE
python.

I understand that voxel space to MRI RAS space transform matrix is stored
in vox2ras and the transform for voxel space to Freesurfer's surface RAS is
in vox2ras_tkr of T1.mgz in my subject folder. Since the electrodes are in
MRI RAS space, I am applying a transform matrix that is a matrix product of
inverse(vox2ras) and vox2ras_tkr. However, this doesn't work out in real
life, and I end up with electrodes half way outside the head.

Am I using the correct matrices? Also, T1.affine appears similar to vox2ras
but very slightly different. Just hoping that there would be an easier
way..
Best regards,
