Workshop participants should bring a laptop with MATLAB installed. SPM8 works with Windows, LINUX and Intel Mac systems. See the SPM8 page for details concerning operating system requirements. During the course exercises, we will be using SPM8, MRIcron and xjview.
 
Instructions for installing SPM8

1. Install MATLAB 7.1 (or later)
2. Download and unpack the core SPM8 distribution
3. Or, if you have a previous installation of SPM8, download and install the current SPM8 update
4. Start MATLAB
5. Add the SPM8 top-level directory to the beginning of the MATLAB search path. In doing so, use "Add Folder..." rather than "Add with Subfolder..."
6. Save the new MATLAB search path and close the window.
7. Type "spm" at the MATLAB prompt
8. The SPM8 top-level dialog box should appear on the screen.

Please make certain that MATLAB is working on your laptop prior to the workshop. Data used in the demonstrations will be provided at the workshop.
If for any reason you cannot get MATLAB and SPM8 working smoothly on your laptop, please contact us at admin@neurometrika.org least 48 hours before the course.
