Dear Ajay, Thank you for your email.
1) BundleWarp is specifically designed to register individual bundles rather than whole-brain tractograms. While it is technically possible to use BundleWarp to register two tractograms by treating them as sets of streamlines (static and moving), it will require significantly more memory and time. Additionally, registration may not be optimal due to the presence of false positives in whole-brain tractograms. A better way to register whole brain tractograms with BundleWarp involves clustering the tractograms first to establish correspondences between clusters of two tractograms, then registering the corresponding clusters individually using BundleWarp. However, we have yet to test this approach thoroughly. In short, we recommend using BundleWarp exclusively for bundles. 2) We use the HCP atlas of bundles in the MNI space, which can be downloaded from https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Atlas_of_30_Human_Brain_Bundles_in_MNI_space/12089652 You can register bundles from your subject to the same type of bundles in the atlas. BundleWarp outputs a warp map for each bundle. 3) It saves the Gaussian kernel and transformation matrix containing transforms for every streamline in the moving bundle as NumPy files.
