Sorry to hear that you are sick Donna. and thank you for replying promptly!
The problem is I was using SPM8 to normalize my data into their EPI
template, and the spec i found recommended by caret was "the
Human.PALS_B12.BOTH.TEMPLATE-for-fMRI-MAPPING.73730.spec"
or MGH group was
" PALS.B12.BOTH-HEMS.For-Stereotaxic-foci-analyses.73730.spec".
For both I tried, and the space I chose SPM5, as there is no SPM8.
But weirdly, for atlas under SPM5,  there is only left
 human.pals.multi.fidmap.Left.hemisphere.73730, but no corresponding
human.pals.multi.fidmap.right.hemisphere.73730...

Do you think the choices I made were reasonable, and do you know where I can
find the right hemisphere atlas for SPM5 that associate with a specific spec
file good for fmri mapping using SPM8?

Thank you again and hope you feel better!
Best,
