The template images supplied with SPM conform to the space defined by the ICBM, NIH P-20 project, and approximate that of the the space described in the atlas of Talairach and Tournoux (1988). The transformation can also be applied to any other image that has been coregistered with these scans. A few researchers may wish to continue using this strategy, but (when good quality anatomical MRI scans are available) the DARTEL approach is now generally recommended instead.' '' 'Generally, the algorithms work by minimising the sum of squares difference between the image which is to be normalised, and a linear combination of one or more template images. For the least squares registration to produce an unbiased estimate of the spatial transformation, the image contrast in the templates (or linear combination of templates) should be similar to that of the image from which the spatial normalisation is derived. The registration simply searches for an optimum solution. If the starting estimates are not good, then the optimum it finds may not find the global optimum.' '' 'The first step of the normalisation is to determine the optimum 12-parameter affine transformation. Initially, the registration is performed by matching the whole of the head (including the scalp) to the template. Following this, the registration proceeded by only matching the brains together, by appropriate weighting of the template voxels. This is a completely automated procedure (that does not require ``scalp editing'') that discounts the confounding effects of skull and scalp differences. A Bayesian framework is used, such that the registration searches for the solution that maximises the a posteriori probability of it being correct /* \cite{ashburner97b} */. i.e., it maximises the product of the likelihood function (derived from the residual squared difference) and the prior function (which is based on the probability of obtaining a particular set of zooms and shears).' '' 'The affine registration is followed by estimating nonlinear deformations, whereby the deformations are defined by a linear combination of three dimensional discrete cosine transform (DCT) basis functions /* \cite{ashburner99a} */. The default options result in each of the deformation fields being described by 1176parameters, where these represent the coefficients of the deformations in three orthogonal directions. The matching involved simultaneously minimising the membrane energies of the deformation fields and the residual squared difference between the images and template(s).' '' 'The primarily use is for stereotactic normalisation to facilitate inter-subject averaging and precise characterisation of functional anatomy /* \cite{ashburner97bir} */. It is not necessary to spatially normalise the data (this is only a pre-requisite for inter-subject averaging or reporting in the Talairach space).
