Dear all,
I am trying to make group level analysis of functional data on the surface and 
add per-vertex regressors (PVR, here: cortical thickness) into the design. When 
I view the results I have the feeling that the PVR is not really included in 
the model:

I am using the command:
mri_glmfit --glmdir lh_output --y cope1_lh_4D.mgh --fsgd 
Group1versusGroup2.fsgd  --pvr lh.thickness.10.mgh --C Group1only_thickness.mat 
--C Group2only_thickness.mat --C Group1minusGroup2_thickness.mat --C 
Group2minusGroup1_thickness.mat --C Group1plusGroup2_thickness.mat

where
cope1_lh_4D.mgh contains the concatenated sig.mgh images from the fixed level 
analysis (combining the runs) for each participant
fsgd file contains:
GroupDescriptorFile 1
Title Group1versusGroup2
Class Group1 
Class Group2
Input   1109     Group1
Input   1110     Group1
Input   1111     Group1
Input   1112     Group1
...
Input   2280      Group2
Input   2282  Group2
Input   2283  Group2
Input   2284  Group2

The PVR is a file containing thickness maps for each participant,  concatenated 
in the same order as for the functional data.

So there are 2 main regressors (1 factor, 2 levels), but the contrast files 
contain 3 regressors (the third one is the PVE), for instance:
Group1minusGroup2_thickness.mat contains  1 -1 0.

Does it look correct?
Should the pvr regressor be included in the fsdg file? How can I do it?

Thank you very much for your help,
Cheers,
Aga
