There is nothing possible via the user-interface, but if you can do a bit of basic MATLAB coding, then a slight tweek to the estimate function of spm_config_coreg.m (around line 280) from: x = spm_coreg(strvcat(job.ref), strvcat(job.source),job.eoptions); to: job.eoptions.params = [0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0] x = spm_coreg(strvcat(job.ref), strvcat(job.source),job.eoptions); should do the trick. I can't promise that it will work well though. Best regards, -John On Friday 31 October 2008 15:04, Stephen J.
