The transforms list in the paper are volumetric transformation matrices. The
wording was a little confusing in retrospective, but had to do with the goal
of the transformation.

We decided that trying to create a surface from the 112RM-SL average itself
wouldn't be an ideal way to create a surface for mapping macaque data. Our
solution, at least for the foreseeable future, was to transform our average
volume (112RM-SL) to the F99 volume. Since the surface is already aligned
with the F99 volume, then essentially, the transform becomes an intermediate
step in surface mapping. Specifically, apply the transform and then map the
data to the surface.

Hope that helps. Let me know if there are any other questions or interest in
creating a surface for the 112RM-SL brain.
