Thank you very much, Michael! I have just an other important question, please. I'm performing cortical thickness analysis on three groups. One of this is a control group and I'm using it as support because I'm interested only to difference between the two groups of disease. These are my questions: 1- Is correct if I'm applying qdec, testing before a) disease 1 vs disease 2; b) controls vs disease 1 and c) controls vs disease 2. 2- Addictionally to cortical thickness that I'm reporting always as nuisance factor in qdec, I'd test some covariates. Taking in account my study design, could I test each covariates separately on my model using qdec? Thanks,

I've posted on this in the past. cheers,-MH -- Michael Harms, Ph.D.-----------------------------------------------------------Conte Center for the Neuroscience of Mental DisordersWashington University School of MedicineDepartment of Psychiatry, Box 8134660 South Euclid Ave. Tel: 314-747-6173St. Louis, MO 63110 Email: mha...@wustl.edu From: <std...@virgilio.it> Reply-To: <std...@virgilio.it> Date: Thursday, April 4, 2013 7:21 AM To: <freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Subject: [Freesurfer] cortical thickness normalization Hi list, I'm reading a lot of post on this list about cortical thickness normalization. I' m noting very different results on my data when I use mean thickness or ICV as nuisance factor than no factor. I'm confuse on this topic, could you advise the best way, please?
