[caret-users] mapping functional data from SPM5

[Donna Dierker]

Hi Gene,

There's an important distinction between the Caret distribution and the 
latest Caret snapshot.  If you downloaded only the latest Caret 
snapshot, and did not previously install the entire distribution, then 
important files in the caret/data_files/fmri_mapping_files won't be 
found.  When I extract this archive, it contains those files:

/146Gb/www/html/pub/caret/caret_distribution.v5.51.windows.zip

This extracted subdirectory contains over 200 files:

caret/data_files/fmri_mapping_files/

Do you have that directory and those files?

Donna
