SPM – introduction & orientation introduction to the SPM software and resources
Statistical parametric map (SPM) Data transformations Design matrix Image time-series Kernel Realignment Smoothing General linear model Gaussian field theory Statistical inference Normalisation p <0.05 Template Parameter estimates
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 p-values from random field theory • plotting & results interrogation • Utilities • image display, CheckReg, rendering, brain extraction, adjusted means, image algebra • Implementation • “toolbox” of MATLAB® functions • GUI • Availability • open source academic freeware • documented and informally supported
SPM architecture • SPM • MatLab functions & scripts • basic “toolbox” functions • macro functions/scripts • GUI functions & i/o primitives • externally linked C-code • intensive operations • memory mapping • platform • MatLab on UNIX, Linux, Windows • MatLab: • 4th 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++
SPM5b 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 SPM course notes,Human Brain Function & SPM manual algorithm descriptions,code annotations,pseudo-code online help & function descriptions
