These ideas have % been instantiated in software that is called SPM. % The SPM software package has been designed for the analysis of % brain imaging data sequences. The sequences can be a series of % images from different cohorts, or time-series from the same % subject. The current release is designed for the analysis of % fMRI, PET, SPECT, EEG and MEG. % % ---------------- % % Please refer to this version as "SPM12" in papers and communications. % % ---------------- % % SPM was written to organise and interpret our data (at the Wellcome % Trust Centre for Neuroimaging). The distributed version is the same as % that we use ourselves. % % SPM is made freely available to the [neuro]imaging community, to % promote collaboration and a common analysis scheme across laboratories. % %__________________________________________________________________________ % Software % % The SPM software is a suite of MATLAB functions, scripts and data files, % with some externally compiled C routines, implementing Statistical % Parametric Mapping. MATLAB, a commercial engineering mathematics % package, is required to use SPM. MATLAB is produced by MathWorks, % Natick, MA, USA. http://www.mathworks.com/ % SPM requires only core MATLAB to run (no special toolboxes are required). % % SPM12 is written for MATLAB version 7.4 (R2007a) onwards under Windows, % Linux and Mac (SPM12 will not work with versions of MATLAB prior to 7.4). % Binaries of the external C-MEX routines are provided for Windows, Linux % and Mac. The source code is supplied and can be compiled with a C % compiler (Makefile provided). % See http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/software/spm12/ for details. % % Later versions of MATLAB (released after SPM12), will probably need % additional patches in order to run. Once developed, these will be made % available from: % http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/download/spm12_updates/ % % Although SPM12 will read image files from previous versions of SPM, there % are differences in the algorithms, templates and models used. Therefore, % we recommend you use a single SPM version for any given project. % % The SPM12 Release Notes can be found online: % http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/software/spm12/ % %__________________________________________________________________________ % File format % % SPM12 uses the NIFTI-1 data format as standard. Take a look at % http://nifti.nimh.nih.gov/ % for more information on the NIFTI-1 file format. % % The old SPM2 version of Analyze format can be read straight into SPM12, % but results will be written out as NIFTI-1. If you still use this % format, then it is important that you ensure that spm_flip_analyze_images % has been set appropriately for your data. % % The MINC and ECAT7 formats can not be read straight into SPM12, although % conversion utilities have been provided. Similarly, a number of DICOM % flavours can also be converted to NIFTI-1 using tools in SPM12. % %__________________________________________________________________________ % Resources % % The SPM website is the central repository for SPM resources: % http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/ % Introductory material, installation details, documentation, course % details and patches are published on the site. % % There is an SPM eMail discussion list, hosted at <spm@jiscmail.ac.uk>. % The list is monitored by the authors, and discusses theoretical, % methodological and practical issues of Statistical Parametric Mapping % and SPM. The SPM website has further details: % http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/support/ % % Please report bugs to the authors at <fil.spm@ucl.ac.uk>. % Peculiarities may actually be features, and should be raised on the SPM % eMail discussion list, <spm@jiscmail.ac.uk>. % %__________________________________________________________________________ % Authors % % SPM is developed under the auspices of Functional Imaging Laboratory % (FIL), The Wellcome Trust Centre for NeuroImaging, in the Institute of % Neurology at University College London (UCL), UK. % % SPM94 was written primarily by Karl Friston in the first half of % 1994, with assistance from John Ashburner (MRC-CU), Jon Heather % (WDoIN), and Andrew Holmes (Department of Statistics, University of % Glasgow). Subsequent development, under the direction of Prof. Karl % Friston at the Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience, has % benefited from substantial input (technical and theoretical) from: % John Ashburner (WDoIN), Andrew Holmes (WDoIN & Robertson Centre for % Biostatistics, University of Glasgow, Scotland), Jean-Baptiste Poline % (WDoIN & CEA/DRM/SHFJ, Orsay, France), Christian Buechel (WDoIN), % Matthew Brett (MRC-CBU, Cambridge, England), Chloe Hutton (WDoIN) and % Keith Worsley (Department of Statistics, McGill University, Montreal, % Canada). % % See AUTHORS.txt for a complete list of SPM co-authors. % % We would like to thank everyone who has provided feedback on SPM. % %__________________________________________________________________________ % Disclaimer, copyright & licencing % % SPM (being the collection of files given in the manifest in the % Contents.m file) is free but copyright software, distributed under the % terms of the GNU General Public Licence as published by the Free % Software Foundation (either version 2, as given in file LICENCE.txt, % or at your option, any later version).
