SPM without Graphical Output

• Start MATLAB with options:
• -nodisplay -nosplash
• -noFigureWindows on Windows platforms

• Initialise SPM with the following:

spm('defaults','fmri');
spm_jobman('initcfg');

• Enable the Command Line mode in your SPM scripts:

spm_get_defaults('cmdline',true);

• Use Xvfb (X virtual framebuffer) on Linux platforms.
