<br>Dear Jan,<br><br>Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I have tried it out quite a few times now, experimenting with different settings in the cfgs. Below I'll paste the code I've been using to write images - first the code that successfully created spm2 images that produced good results, then the code used for creating nifti format images from the same data. The comments in this second part are at this point a bit of a maze of cfg options I've been changing back & forth. Any insights/suggestions regarding how to set up my cfgs to make this work would be greatly appreciated.<br>

<br>
I notice that indeed in the documentation section of ft_write_volume there is a FIXME behind nifti. Yet, nifti format seems to be supported by ft_write_volume (at least in a recent version of fieldtrip). Did you try it at all (and ran into problems) or were you held back by the FIXME statement? Could you just try it out using a recent fieldtrip function?<br>
<br>
Thanks and best wishes<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
While writing beamformed images to spm2 format in a previous version of fieldtrip (now lost due to a computer crash), I was able to get nice-looking results; networks of brain regions consistent with existing literature. When I try to write images from the same dataset and the same analysis to spm8 format, my results (t-images computed across subjects) end up being single clusters spanning large sections of the brain (e.g. a 'blob' spanning all of one hemisphere but not the other). Unfortunately, some aspects of my planned data analyses cannot be performed on spm2 images, so I have to find a way of writing to successfully to nifti format.<br>
<br>
I just noticed that in the comments in the ft_write_volume function, which I am calling via ft_volumewrite, it says 'FIXME' next to nifti under the list of supported dataformats. Is there by any chance a patch out there for writing nifti images?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
