Versions of SPM available at the CBU
The versions of SPM available at the CBU are:
spm96 - original
SPM96 as orinally distributed.We do not recommend you use this version of SPM, but instead use the patched version (see below).
spm96 - patched
This version is almost identical to the original version of spm96, but differs in that: 1. There have been some updates to fix little bugs. The bugs fixed are listed at the [http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/spm96.html the SPM web site 96 bug fix list]. The directory listing routine, spm_list_files, has been updated also, so that it does not crash when moving into automounted directories.
I have installed the random effects toolkit. See the [http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/spm96.html SPM96 random effects toolkit] link for some explanation. Basically it enhances certain rarely used features of SPM96 to make random effects analyses easier. Follow the link above for some explanation of what a random effects analysis is.
To get this patched version of SPM96 at the CBU, type:
spm 96
at the unix prompt.
spm 97
SPM97 is the patched version of SPM96 with the fMRI event related routines installed. Again, see the [http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/spm96.html SPM website 96 event related fMRI] link for details.To start SPM97 at the CBU, type:
spm 97
or
spm er
at the unix prompt.
spm 95
This is an older version of spm. There is little use for this for most people, but the code is useful for certain special occasions. In particular, it is much easier to see what the statistical analysis is doing in this version of the code.For SPM95, at the CBU, type:
spm 95
at the unix prompt.
spm 99b
The beta release of spm99 with all available patches applied. The full release came out in January 2000, and we suggest that people use the full release rather than SPM99b.Run SPM99b at the CBU, with:
spm 99b
at the unix prompt.
spm 99
The current version of SPM, with recent (as yet very minor) patches. We recommend that imagers at the CBU use this version unless they have a good reason to use earlier versions, as it included many enhancements, and some corrections to problems with spm 96.Run SPM99 at the CBU, with:
spm
or
spm 99
at the unix prompt. [mailto:matthew.brett@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk Matthew Brett]
