Hello SPMers,

I'm trying to upgrade some of my old pre-processing scripts to make use of the dartel normalisation method.

I have successfully realigned, resliced, slice-time corrected, co-registered the EPI with the subjects' raw anatomical and run the dartel preprocessing procedure.

Using the old normalisation method, spm_preproc, I would pass the output to spm_prep2sn which would give me the the normalisation parameters (and their inverse) which I could apply to the EPI data using spm_write_sn.

For the dartel procedure I have used a batch script, so my knowledge of the functions here are not as good.

My question is: where in the dartel processing pipeline could I get the spatial normalisation parameters similar to what are given by spm_prep2sn so that I can use them with the EPIs, as I was doing before? Does this sound like a reasonable thing to do?

Thanks,

Ben
