The SPM discussion list is a UK-based worldwide email broadcast system for discussion and help with the methodology, implementation and use of Statistical Parametric Mapping and the SPM package. The list is not moderated, but is monitored and owned by members of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging.
Much of the approach and use of SPM is described in the documentation. Subscribers are urged to consult these sources, and any local expertise, before using the discussion list as a helpline. A response from one of the SPM authors cannot be guaranteed, due to resource limitations. Experienced list members are therefore encouraged to address issues within their experience, posting their responses & discussion to the list for general enlightenment.
The list is run at the UK's automated JISCmail service, which is funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) of the Higher Education Funding Councils for England, Scotland and Wales. The service offers automated subscription, searchable digests and membership lists, amongst other things.
JISCmail offers fully automated list management:
