Dear All,
good day, hope all's well.
Was wondering if you could let me know if the following pipeline would be acceptable or problematic for fMRI data:
EPI images > realigned images > First-level analysis in native subject space > spatial normalization of contrast images to ICBM template > spatial smoothing (8 mm FHWM) > second level analysis (ICBM space).
If I'm not mistaken, this is the pipeline that Joern recommends when using SUIT

Would that be also acceptable using the standard ICBM template? Is it violating any gaussian assumptions for the analysis of data at the first level?
A great many thanks and apologies for the naivete of the question
