Hi, I hope I don't repeat myself. I sent this mail before but it didn't end up on the list, so I try again.
I hadn't use for flatmapping for a while and now worked myself through the tutorial of the new caret 5.1 and also some data. First of all I am impressed and will probably have severall questions in the future but for now I would be happy to understand two things. (Sorry if I missed some docu but I really looked before posting) 1. In the Flattening Full Hem there's an entry for the AC coordinates which I understand to relative to the 0,0,0 of the loaded surface (which generally is the lower left occ. voxel if not translated via surface->transform->translate) But what is the AC commissure Offset? In the tutorial it defaults to 0,-10,10? 2. What is the SPM inverse transform for? I think I understand the technical term but why would I transform the individual brain to normal and than back to individual? Obviously 2 transformation are worse than none. So I guess there must be some application I for this method. As I use caret as a flattening tool to spm I am just curious. Bugs: Whishlist. Would it be possible in mouse mode to use the middle and right button additionally to shift/ctrl left button for panning and zooming? I think it was that way in caret 4 and found it very practical. map_fMRI_surface: When using the this tool with the Human.Collins Atlas I have trouble doing severall transforms (SPM2-functional to metric) at once. I can transform one spmT_??.hdr at a time but as soon as I choose either more than one spmT_?? or more than one hemisphere for conversion the program hangs apon pressing "Run mapper" The progressbar goes to the first transform (e.g. 33% for three spmT_??.hdr) and hangs there (has to be killed). The spec file is produced but no metric file. If I produce the metric files one by one I have to shutdown the mapper after each conversion and call it again via attributes->metric->Map fMRI... Also If I want to change the comments to a functional file other than the first (under Metric Naming) the mapper crashes. I use caret5 under debian woody (mostly), calling the mapper via the caret5 menu. I use the Atlas downloaded from: If you have any idea or if I can help you with more info, please let me know. Regards and thanks again for such a nice software.
