SPM seems to do spatial normalization by warping the BOLD scans directly to
a template scan in Talairach space (say, an EPI to an EPI template).
Another method to do this is to map an "anatomical" scan to an "anatomical"
scan in Talairach space, using say a piecewise linear mapping, then pulling
the BOLD scan along with the same mapping.
What are the pros and cons of each of these two general approaches? (A ref.
to the literature is fine.)
