[MINC-users] Optimized VBM at the BIC

[Marc BOUFFARD]

A while back I also searched for a way to do the optimized vbm at the BIC
but ended up using SPM since the "optimized" concept was already
implemented in the SPM5 pipeline.

However, if it is of any interest, the additional modulation step
(multiplication of tissue class by the relative volumes before and after
warping) can be done using the existing BIC tools.
