[MINC-users] methods for registering brainmap.org activation data to subject data

[Pierre Bellec]

Dear Michel,

I am not sure to understand what you are trying to do. If I am correct,
Sleuth just produces coordinates. ALE will give you maps, in stereotaxic
space. Do you want to bring those maps in the space of individual subjects
?? You will then need to estimate a transformation from the individual space
to stereotaxic space (the most common tool to do that is MRI2TAL I believe,
even though there are other scripts around, please ask if you need more
details). You will then need to use MINCRESAMPLE with the inverse transform
to resample your ALE map in the individual subject space.

I hope this helps,
