[caret-users] mapping functional data from SPM5

Amy et al.,

As it happens, I was having what appears to be the same problem when  
attempting to map a functional volume myself yesterday and today!  It  
seems to be a glitch in Caret that occurs ONLY when you de-select  
everything except 'Show mapping to average fiducial surface'.

Try leaving 'Show Average of mapping to all multi-fiducial cases'  
selected.  Then it works for me.

OR, try 'Map to spec file with atlas', which also works for me, but  
you have to then open the metric file after it's created.

John now has this on his 'fix-it' list, but I'm not sure when the  
patch will be implemented.
