You can subtract .5 from the volume (fscalc vol.mgh sub .5 -o vol-minus.5.mgh), then do a one-sample group mean (--osgm). You should do a permutation test to correct for multiple comparisons because the residuals definitely won't be Gaussian.

Its one value per voxel per subject. So there is variane across subjects. and I want to see weather that value is different from 0.5 instead of 0.

    So it is only one volume? This won't work with mri_glmfit. glmfit
    needs to have a value for each subject so that it can compute the
    variance across subjects (needed to infer whether a difference
    from 0 is significant). I don't know of any software that will do it.

    Hi Doug,

    The output of the analysis is a volume with performance values in
    each voxel. the performance ranges between 0 to 1 and I want to
    see if across subjects there is any region with above chance
    performance (Chance is 0.5).

        Hi Maryam, I must confess ignorance on search-light analysis.
        Can  you give me more background on what it is, the output
        data, and what you want mri_glmfit to tell you?

            Hi Dough,

             I have run a searchlight analysis on 10 subjects and
            want to run a random effects analysis with mri_glmfit
            across subject. I have the results of each subject
            projected on the fsaverage surface. But I have no idea
            how to make it to
            1) compare the values in each voxel with 0.5 instead of 0
            2) how to make it ignore the fact that I dont have
            variance for each subject and only have a single
            performance value (support vector machine performance)
            for each voxel (it looks like the mri_glmfit needs a
            ces.var.nii)

            Any idea how I can do this? Sorry if this is a rookie
            question. I am totally new to searchlight and random
            effects analysis in fsfast.

            Thanks,
            Maryam
