The contrast is not correct for your design. Your design matrix will have 3 columns, one for HC, one for CMT, and one for rh.thickness_30.fsavg.mgh. Ie, it automatcailly interprets PVRs in a DOSS kind of way. If you want to test for a difference in thickness-meylin slopes between the two groups, you will need to have two PVRs, one where the value is the thickness for HC subjects and 0 for CMT subjects, the other the reverse, then set your contrast to 0 0 1 -1. If you just want to remove thickness as a nuisance, then you can stick with what you have and just use a contrast of 1 -1 0
