Hi PT
Thanks for reminding me that the atlas should always be resampled!

For example, the 3mm version of AAL90, Power264, and Dosenbach160 are all 61*73*61, which is the same as the output size using MNI_avg152 as the base, not 64*76*64 using MNI152_2009_template_SSW (almost all atlases I see are the same size as output using MNI_avg152 as the tlrc_base). For example, now I download the meta-analysis results from neurosynth.com, which is also 61*73*61, and I need to extract the time series from the subject's preprocessed data (64*76*64) that is activated in the meta-analysis results from neurosynth.com. So, I can just resample the results from neurosynth.com using the preprocessed data to be the master. Then, the results image from neurosynth.com also become 64*76*64, and I can extract the time series using the activating cluster in meta-analysis results. And this process is also right to extract the time series from STG using atlas like AAL90. Is that right?

The second question is about the stats output. I understand the stats* is from 3dDeconvolve and stats*REML* is from 3dREMLfit. I find stats*REML* is recommended when 3dMEMA is used to do the group analysis. If I use 3dMVM to do the group analysis, either stats* from 3dDeconvolve or stats*REML* from 3dREMLfit is appropriate as the input in 3dMVM. Is that right?
