Dear Dr. Symms, > I have 160 FMRI volumes of varying contrast that I would like to > realign. Is it possible to use the Mutual Information cost function in > the Realignment routine ? The way the defaults are set out seems to > imply that MI is only available for Coregistration. Coregistration is the same as realignment, so the answer is yes. The warning "only for coregistration" is that you cannot use MI to normalise images.
