Hello SPM-list,
we would like to repeat VBM studies using SPM5 instead of SPM2.
If I understand it correctly the unified segmentation method is implemented in SPM5 -
this makes things a lot easier. However, what does this mean for customising priors?
1. Should we perform one run with standard priors and a second run with
averaged, normalised and smoothed seg1, 2, and 3 (=customised priors)?
2. Should a wholehead template be produced and exchanged, too?
3. In 'optimized' vbm normalisation was driven by grey matter - is this concept out
of date with unified segmentation process?
Thanks a lot for any recommendations,
Ph. Saemann
