[Neuroimaging] Strange offset plotting MRIs with plot_glass_brain

[bthirion]

Dear Ioan -Andrei,

You images are not spatially normalized, i.e. the position in mm does 
not correspond to MNI nor to Talairach coordinates.
They at least need a non-trivial trnslation to reach one of those 
coordinate ssytem; you probably want to revise the pipeline used to 
obtain these images.
Best,

Bertrand
