Hi Everyone,
I'm BrainVoyager user (on a Windows 2000 machine), and a total
newcomer to Caret. I have a general question about how best to port my
functional and anatomical data into Caret.
Here's my overall situation: My study is revealing a pretty
larger number (>40) of highly reliable foci all over the cortex, and I'd
like to map them to a good surface-based atlas so as to (a) assign them
to Broadmann area/s, and (b) compare them reliably to previous reports
of activation, so as to discern the potential functional significance of
these foci. It looks like Caret is right for the job.
Since Caret expects the volume data in a non-Brainvoyager format
(e.g., AFNI, SMP, etc), I need to decide whether to (a) start over with
my raw DICOM files in AFNI/SPM etc and process them until they're ready
for Caret, or (b) use my existing BrainVoyager-format files (*.vmr,
*.fmr etc) and find some way of converting them into a format that Caret
accepts.
So does anyone know which (if either) of the above strategies is
workable? I figure there must be some Caret users out there who have
grappled with this problem. Any advice you can provide would be useful.
Thank you very much in advance,
