dear list.
is there a good manual about the preprocessing procedures in spm?
i would like to have information about kinds of questions like:
- do i get better results in normalisation with coreg my epi on the t1
image and normalize the latter with the t1 template (there is a mail in the
spm list archives, i think it was john ashburners, who prefers
normalization with the mean epi image, but it was according spm99)?
or - do i have to estimate & resclice images in the coreg step or is it
enough to just estimate (by the way, reslicing "blows" up my single epi
images to a size of the t1 image (160mb) and therefore it takes hours).
the spm5 manual is no real help, because it just describes the single
features, but gives no advise what do do. the typical related papers are no
real help either, because their are overloaded with mathematical terms and
procedures, i do not understand.
so anything around for a dummy who just want to drive a car without being a
mechanic?
thanks for the help.
