External Email - Use Caution        

Hello FreeSurfer Developers,

Following the FSGD examples on the website, I built the following test:

Question: Is there an association between cortisol and cortical thickness 
regressing out the effect of sex, age, APOE4_carrier (1=1 or 2 alleles, 0=no 
alleles), abeta, ptau, diagnosis (CU and CI)?
Regressors: 2 factors (sex, diagnosis) with 2 levels each, 5 covariates (age, 
APOE4_carrier (1=1 or 2 alleles, 0=no alleles), abeta, ptau, cortisol) >> 24 
regressors
Contrast: 0 0 0 0 0.5 -0.5 0.5 -0.5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
FSGD:
GroupDescriptorFile 1
Title CSF_semgrupos
Class MaleCU
Class MaleCI
Class FemaleCU
Class FemaleCI
Variables Cortisol Age ABETA ptau APOE4_carrier
Input 098_S_4003_I224603 MaleCI 11 81.3 741.5 22.83 1

Does this feel right to you?

I am having difficulty understanding how to construct the contrast to answer 
the following question "Is the interaction between group (CU/CI) and cortisol 
significant regressing out the effect of sex, age, APOE_carrier, abeta and 
ptau?" It seems like the contrast would be the same as before.. Can you guys 
help me with this?

Thanks in advance!
