Dear Li,
I think your steps are not correct for DCM, if that was what you aimed for.
You get the probability of defined/hypothesized connection and the
driving factor at the end, not T map. You can search on the SPM
mailing list for steps of a DCM study, there are quite questions
(including mine) and answers previously.
Good luck!
Regards,
Zhang Hao
