Dear Juan Pablo Neira
I think what has to be done in this case is first to transfer the MRI to
MNI space following steps described here.
http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/development/minimum_norm_estimate_new?s[]=mri&s[]=mni
then you use the transformation in reverse on the atlas so you end up with
an MNI atlas reshaped according to the individual MRI.
then you can set sourceplot to use the atlas and give you names of regions
when using the plot (ortho mode) interactively. you can also generate masks
to color regions etc.
I haven't done it but it should be possible.
