    Several years ago in San Diego I was in a friend’s car when he hit the car in front. The accident was mild and nobody was injured. After the two cars pulled over, I was wondering what the other driver would say. He said, “I am sorry to me
    
     
     
                                   
                                        
                            
    
    
    
    I saw at least two web pages saying that the reference slice can be chosen during slice timing correction. For example, http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/doc/manual/spatial.htm. I disagree. Let’s take the first volume as example. Assume TR=2 and

    The mostly used functions I use in SPM is spm_get (for spm2) and spm_select (spm5 and 8).  These two functions are used to get files (usually image files). Frankly speaking I like spm_get much better as it’s intuitive and easy to use.

    My gmail inbox has 12,000 emails. I receive ~30 emails (after removing junk mails) each day. Though I have set to display 100 emails per page but some important but unreplied emails soon disappear from the first page.
