[caret-users] error message; update regarding stereotaxic foci

[David Van Essen]

Leon,

I'm not sure what the error message means, but I suspect it is not a  
serious problem.  John Harwell can chime in on Monday.

In the meantime, I'd like to make sure you're aware of several recent  
changes we have incorporated into Caret that facilitate the entering  
of stereotaxic data from tables in online journal articles or from  
existing spreadsheet tables and the incorporation of several types of  
useful metadata.

There are tutorials showing how to do this that are accessible via  
the SumsDB database (http://sumsdb.wustl.edu/sums/ 
stereotaxictocaretfoci.do, or select Tutorials: Converting  
Stereotaxic Coordinates to Caret Foci Files from the SumsDB home page  
(http://sumsdb.wustl.edu/sums/)

To make best use of these options, be sure to get the recent Caret  
5.51 software release (see appended June 7 Caret announcement).

Best regards,

David VE
