Hi John and others,
The "East Asian brain" option is available in my SPM8's 'Segment' or 'New Segment', but NOT in my 'VBM8: Estimate & Write'. How may I restore this option in my VBM8?
The only available options in the Affine Regularisation step in my VBM8 are:
- No Affine Registration
- ICBM space template - European brains
- Average sized template
- No regularisation
Thanks for the help!
Best wishes,
Meikei

This is for incorporating prior knowledge about the lengths, widths
etc of brains. The affine registration matches brain images together,
bit also tries to penalise too much stretching, shrinking or shearing.
If some knowledge of approximate brain size is provided to the
algorithm, it generally makes it a bit more robust.
Best regards,
