Hi Ana,

No, SPM does consistently use the neurological convention: in the coronal views, anatomical-left is on screen-left, for both CheckReg and MIP, and even in the "sideways" axial in the MIP, the anatomical left is to the left with respect to the direction the eyes are facing.

You can also check where you are by noting that the sign of the x-coordinate is positive for right hemisphere and negative for left-hemisphere (again, consistent between CheckReg, MIP, results table, etc.), assuming properly converted NIfTI images. This will also hold in FSLview and other software that correctly handles NIfTI, regardless of its display convention.

Best wishes,
Ged
