In the first paper that I reference, I describe how to create the first three priors for the monkey. The same approach can be used for dogs. I have not tried to create the other priors that are used in NEW SEGMENT. While NEW SEGMENT is better, you could still use UNIFIED SEGMENTATION to get the grey matter and white matter segments and then import them into DARTEL as described in the second paper that I referenced. You have two options: (1) Generate all the priors and use NEW SEGMENT; (2) Generate grey matter, white matter, and CSF priors and use UNIFIED SEGMENTATION. In either case, you will need to build the priors. The way the priors are constructed are described in my paper and I also provide references for the papers that described the creation of the human priors. John might be able to provide more detail on how to create the skull and other priors. Best Regards, Donald McLaren ================= D.G.
