Hi everyone,
I ran into trouble trying to use statstical images generated in SPM8 for neuronavitaged TMS in a Nifti-compatible TMS-system (Localite TMSNavigator, http://www.localite.de/de/tms/index_tms.html).
Specifically, I acquired an fMRI finger-tapping task in older subjects using a block design. After preprocessing without spatial normalization, I ran a simple first-level analysis (movement versus rest) to identify motor cortex activations in each subject's individual anatomy. I exported the thresholded T-maps using the "save" option in the SPM8 results GUI (hdr + img).
When I load the resulting T-maps into the TMS Navigator, I get a warning that the images aren't stored in the proper format ("1+n" rather than "ni1" or "n+1"). Non-processed Nifit-images, e.g. the corresponding anatomical files, can be read without problems.
I'm lost as to what causes this error and whether (a) there's something I missed during the image processing/results saving procedure in SPM8 and (b) how I can access and change the header such that it conforms the proper Nifti struct.
Thanks a lot!
Eugenio Abela
