If you can get good alignment between the EPI and the T1 images for the 4 subjects with good T1 images, you might try the following: (1) coregister each T1 to the corresponding EPI; (2) normalize the coregistered T1 to the 112RM-SL atlas (see McLaren et al. 2010 in Methods for your options) (3) app

The matrix that you have will fail because Col1+Col2=Col3 (and same for the other columns). To do what you want, use the DODS that mri_glmfit generates along with a contrast of [0 0 1 -1]. The constant term is modelled by the first two columns. doug On 02/12/2013 03:19 PM, jm wrote: > Hi fs ex
