Introduction to the SPM 5 software…

SPM features… • Spatial • realignment, spatial normalization, segmentation, coregistration, spatial smoothing • Statistical • voxel by voxel statistical analysis • general linear model, generalized for temporal autocorrelation • random effects analyses • multiple comparisons: Corrected pvalues from random field theory • plotting & results interrogation • Utilities • image display, Check. Reg, rendering, brain extraction, adjusted means, image algebra • Implementation • “toolbox” of MATLAB® functions • GUI • Availability • open source academic freeware • documented and informally supported

SPM GUI. . .

SPM resources…

SPM architecture • SPM – Mat. Lab functions & scripts • basic “toolbox” functions • macro functions/scripts • GUI functions & i/o primitives – externally linked C-code • intensive operations • memory mapping – platform • Mat. Lab on UNIX, Linux, Windows • Mat. Lab: – 4 th Generation language • high level matrix based engineering maths language • basic data type is matrix • mathematical syntax – interpreted environment – graphics & GUI primitives provided – programming • scripts • functions (can compile) • objects • linked C/C++

SPM 5 b requirements… Workstation – – developed on Sun Solaris UNIX Solaris, Linux & Windows supported other UNIX disk & memory… Matlab 6. 5 - 7. 0 – no special “toolboxes” required ANSII C Compiler – to compile external C–mex routines ®ready for Solaris, Linux, & Windows Analyze / MINC format images – conversion program – extend SPM Internet access …for SPMweb & the email discussion list Plenty of time!

SPM documentation… peer reviewed literature online help & function descriptions SPM course notes, Human Brain Function & SPM manual algorithm descriptions, code annotations, pseudo-code
