The VBM8 longitudinal pipeline creates wp1* and wp2* output files, which according to the manual denote that these files are unmodulated.
Is there a particular reason why longitudinal tissue maps cannot be created in the pipeline to reflect non-linear only modulation (i.e., m0* appended) files?
I took a peak in the cg_vbm8_longitudinal.m code and it looks like there are open flags for modulated data, but I don’t want to either 1.) misinterpret the wp* files or 2.) do something statistically/methodologically incorrect.
Any ideas on how to tweak the pipeline to produce m0p1* and m0p2* tissue maps?
Thanks,
Jeff
