Hi,

I am sorry to disappoint you. I wrote another srcipt to compute the centroid in 
order to clarify whats happening. The centroid computed by the script is in the 
center of the cluster. However, the differences could be due to details of the 
computation. I was not able to unriddle all the details in the freesurfer code. 
Probably I am going to keep this script since it fits what I would like to 
compute. Before I forget about it, I use freesurfer 5.3.

Greetings pfannmoe
