Thank you very much for your quickly answer! The only reason is the other data in this project are all in Talairach space. I need compare VBM data to other data. ________________________________ From: Russell Poldrack [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 2007年10月3日 18:55 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [FSL] VBM and Talairach Why do you need to transfer to Talairach space?

FSL is really good at the VBM analysis. Thank you very much for all FSL guys! However, I need combine the VBM data to some other kinds of data (e.g., the BOLD data) and these data had been analyzed by AFNI. The VBM is in MNI space, now. Therefore, I need transfer it to Talairach space. Now, there are two ways: 1. Ttransfer to Talairach from MNI after fslvbm_3_proc. 2. Let the grey-matter partial volume aligned to Talairach standard space instead of MNI152 space. The first question is which way is better. I prefer the second way. However, I don’t know how to modify the script (fslvbm_1_bet? Fslvbm_2_template? Or fslvbm_3_proc?) and where I can find the Talairach space template file (for replace the MNI152 file).
