We studied the effects of segmentation methods (SPM8)
and lesion masking on the accuracy of MRI spatial
normalization of brains and fMRI tactile task-related
activation in large stroke lesions. The normalized
T1-images were altered after Segment, with brain tissue
outside of the MNI template. New-Segment method led to
satisfactory T1-normalized images. There was no mask
effect. We observed contralesional somatosensory
activity using Segment and ipsilesional somatosensory
activity with New-Segment. There was no mask effect with
Segment, but higher activity with New-Segment. We showed
that T1-image segmentation method influences spatial
normalization, affecting the detection of task-related
activity at the group level.
