Dear all,

I am very new to caret ( and to the list of course). So please excuse me
for asking a question that has been debated a number of times on the list.

All I want is to know if the procedure that I am using for mapping my
functional images from SPM8 (spm_t  images) ( in MNI space) to PALS atlas :
Human.PALS_B12.BOTH.TEMPLATE-for-fMRI-MAPPING.73730, is correct or not.
What i am doing is the following (based on the sep06 caret tutorial on the
web
http://brainvis.wustl.edu/CaretHelpAccount/caret5_help/tutorials/Caret_Tutorial_5.5.html)
: (and please correct me if there is anything wrong there)

1. Opening the spec file:
Human.PALS_B12.BOTH.TEMPLATE-for-fMRI-MAPPING.73730.spec
2. Renaming it to a different name.
3. Using Map Volume(s) to Surface(s), using metric data.
4. Selecting my .hdr images and then using the option Map to Spec File with
Atlas.
5. Selecting my newly named spec file and using space as spm5 and atlas as
the PALS atlas for left and right.
6. saving the metric files and using metric enclosing algorithm.
7. For visualisation, I open the spec file. load the file and in D/C I use
overlay/underlay data type as metric.
8. For threshold, I use the metric settings and user threshold.

I want to confirm if the 'atlas and SPM5 space' options take care of the
registration (and I dont need to register my functionals or structurals to
caret atlas). In other words, what space is
Human.PALS_B12.BOTH.TEMPLATE-for-fMRI-MAPPING.73730 in? and is it the same
as for SPM8?
