Hi, 

       The par file should just be a standard ASCII text file.

Kind Regards

Matthew

An additional question to my previous ones - does anybody know how to convert the .par file to a .txt file? (so that I can input to SPM). Can't seem to find anything on the web. 

Thanks,

Joelle

Hi,
I'm working with the .par file from mcflirt, which I understand are the 6 (3 rotation and 3 translation) parameters.

My end goal is to use the .par file as a regressor for motion in an SPM analysis. I need to figure out if the .par file (FSL mcflirt) and the rp.txt file (from SPM realignment) are comparable.

The important question is: which columns come first in the .par file? Are the first 3 columns rotation and the last 3 translation? Or the other way around?

Thanks,
Joelle
