Hi Uma,

I am not familiar with the "beta" and "con" volumes. However, when I searched google, I found a couple of web pages that state that in the "beta" and "con" volumes, voxels outside the brain are set to Nan (not a number).

The web page "http://psyphz.psych.wisc.edu/~oakes/spm/spm_how_tos.html"; states " One caveat which you may know if you've followed the list, is that the con**.img and beta*.img images have the areas outside the brain values set
to NaN".

Something similar to this is posted on the SPM99 web site "http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/software/spm99/"; that voxels outside the brain are set to 0 or Nan.

Caret5 expects all voxels in a volume to have valid numerical values. You will need to find a way to convert the NaN voxels to zeros in your volumes.

Hi all,

I am new to Caret. I am trying to map results of my
group level analysis performed in SPM99 onto the PALS
atlas in Caret 5.3.

While I am able to map the spmT*.hdr for the
functional volume (as per the online documentation
provided), I am unable to map the con*.hdr or
beta*.hdr. Following around 80% processing, wherein
both the scaling and descaling ranges are read as -NaN
-NaN, the programme crashes with the message
sqrt: domain error.

All required settings (voxel size etc) seem to be
correct. I have gone through the previous mails in the
list. Shouldnt it be possible to map any SPM *.hdr
file through Caret? Help of any kind would be highly
appreciated.

Best regards,
Uma Sreekumar
