Hello SPMers, I am having difficulties normalizing some fMRI data. The images were acquired on a GE scanner. When i normalize the data, a large chunk of the images, in the three planes, disappears. On the normalization report, a large part of the posterior pole is absent. I have run the data using another software (stimulate) and the data seem allright... Someone told me to crop the images before using SPM to solve the problem. Now i get an error message similar to this one (which i copied from someone else's message Can someone help me? thank you, Hugo Theoret >> smoothing.. ..done iteration: 1 chi2: 0.0386532 Warning: Divide by zero Warning: Divide by zero iteration: 2 chi2: 0 ???
