Many SPM users have created tools for neuroimaging analyses that are based on SPM. You will find here a list of these tools classified between Toolboxes, Utilities, Batch Systems and Templates. The distinction between Toolboxes and Utilities can be blurry, but for the purposes of this page we define a toolbox to be a utility that can be completely operated via a graphical user interface.
If you notice inaccuracies or out of date links, please email the SPM manager. Likewise, to have your SPM extension linked here, send an email including a URL, a contact email, and a brief summary (please note if any MATLAB toolboxes are required, or if it is platform-specific).
The SPM Developers take no responsibility for the usability of the extensions listed here. In particular, some extensions may be mutually incompatible. Please contact the respective extension authors with questions and problems (though CC'ing answered questions to the Email list will be appreciated).
Extensions compatible with SPM8, SPM5, SPM2, SPM99.

Summary: DPARSF is a convenient plug-in software based on SPM and REST. You just need to arrange your DICOM files, and click a few buttons to set parameters, DPARSF will then give all the preprocessed (slice timing, realign, normalize, smooth) data, FC, ReHo, ALFF and fALFF results. DPARSF can also create a report for excluding subjects with excessive head motion and generate a set of pictures for easily checking the effect of normalization. You can use DPARSF to extract AAL or ROI time courses (or extract Gray Matter Volume of AAL regions, command line only) efficiently if you want to perform small-world analysis. DPARSF basic edition is very easy to use, just click on buttons if you are not sure what it means, popup tips would tell you what you need to do. DPARSF advanced edition is much more flexible, you can use it to reorient your images interactively or define regions of interest interactively. You can skip or combine the processing steps in DPARSF advanced edition freely.

Summary: An easy-to-use scripting system. Choose a default recipe and preprocess all your data with just 7 lines of matlab. Add further lines to override the default processing parameters or modify pathway. Modular design, easy to program. Restartable - if it crashes, just rerun and it will start where it left off. Benchmarking facility. Easy to update as modules are stored centrally.

Summary: AutoSPET (Automatic SPM tool invocation for PET analysis images), is a useful graphical user interface to improve efficiency in running SPM experiments. It handles the entire workflow, starting from the conversion of DICOM files, continuing on the part of pre-processing/statistics and ending finally with the running of the algorithm of classification of obtaining files mdata.

Summary: This script loads selected SPM batch, tries to intelligently guess which fields are potential candidates for "parallel splits" and after interactively asking for confirmation splits your batch into multiple .mat, .m and .sh files (placing them in the same directory as the original batch) - the latter being ready for submission to Sun Grid Engine queue. Splits are done 1:1, meaning that all the fields you select must have the same size. Tested with: NewSegment, Run DARTEL (existing Templates) and Normalize to MNI Space.

Summary: A GUI and command line interface to measure GM/WM/CSF volumes from a series of 3D volume images. Option to separately measure lesion volume (eg Multiple Sclerosis lesions). Uses thresholding of the SPM probability maps to generate binary GM/WM/CSF masks, from which volumes are calculated.

Summary: spmbatch (former spm5batch) creates and runs SPM-jobs for multiple subjects by replacing paths in a given template-job. Jobs on the first level (single subject) are supported, e.g. preprocessing of fMRI data, first-level statistics, image calculator, check registration, jobs with external SPM toolboxes.
Author: Adrian Imfeld
Summary: A wrapper for the SPM2 batch interface which provides a GUI for setting all parameters. Supports pre-processing, parameter estimation, contrasts and second level analysis. spmjob has both flexible scripting support and a user friendly GUI.
Author: Thomas Tanner
Summary: Integrates Protege ontology and SPM2 batch processing utility. It does both the preprocessing and stats, though not the results.

Summary: T1-weighted MRI template based on 112 adult Macaca mulattas (30 females), tissue priors, and T2-weighted MRI template (9 monkeys) aligned to Saleem and Logothetis Atlas (2006). Transformation parameters to F99 space are also available. Additionally, a technical report is included. A paper by McLaren et al. is in press at NeuroImage.

Summary: There are 3 atlases dedicated for neonates (T2), 1-year-olds (T1), and 2-year-olds (T1). Each atlas comprises a set of 3D images made up of the intensity model, tissue probability maps, and anatomical parcellation map.
