Dear John Harwell, Thank you for your answers very much. AAL template is in the MNI stereotaxic space (here it is a nifti format of spm5).
I have seen section 5.1 and tried every step as what the tutorial tells. Following the suggestion in the tutouial, i don't run the mapping algorithm and use the pre-computed ***.metric in the result/subdirectory to view the result which is as a example. Everything works. However, i also try to run the mapping algorithm to generate new metric files and use them to view the reuslts. Unfortunately, when i choose file/open data file and specify the new generated metric files, a dialog box appear name "choose column to load"? What does this mean? And if i ignore it and press ok, an error happen for the differnt number of nodes contained between the metric file and the **coord file. God. Please give me a hand. ^_^ 2009/3/27 John Harwell <j...@brainvis.wustl.edu> > > Instructions on how to use the PALS atlas and how to map functional > volumes to the PALS atlas is available at > http://brainvis.wustl.edu/wiki/index.php/Caret:Documentation > .
