[Freesurfer] Talairach coordinate discrepancy mri_surfcluster vs tksurfer

Hi Doug and Freesurfers, I ran mri_surfcluster to generate coordinates for cluster maxima from a functional surface analysis. The summary text file generated by mri_surfcluster lists a bunch of information about the clusters, including talairach coordinates for each cluster peak (see example below
