Dear Saemann, Thanks for your reply. I was wondering if the two normalize buttons are doing the same job, how come I get different results when I apply them on the same subject using the same template?? I get much better registration (in terms of normalized cross correlation values) in SPM5 than in SPM2 registering to ICBM152. Thanks.
