Hi Christian and SPM folks,

I am working on a longitudinal data using VBM8. Following the VBM-manual
and changing the input data format to adapt to a longitudinal analysis, I
sucessfully got the warped normalized gray matter images (wp1mr*). By
searching this mail list, I saw that a long time ago Christian mentioned
that it was not necessary to output the modulated GM volume (rather than GM
intensity) because the spatial normalization (= inverse modulation) is the
same across multiple time points. It sounds reasonable. However, I still
feel this measure (GM intensity, usually less than 1) was hard to be
understood and the results were also hardly interpreted. I am wondering how
to make VBM8 to output the modulated images for the longitudinal analysis.
I tried to change the parameters stored in cg_vbm8_defaults.m, but it did
not work. Thanks.

Best,
Liang
