yes, it is just like a "normal" group analysis. You create a stack of LI maps, one for each subject, create an FSGD file, run mri_glmfit, then mri_glmfit-sim. doug On 01/13/2014 06:22 PM, krista kelly wrote: > > Just wanted to repost this in case anyone else can give some advice. > Thanks!

The surface initially loads upside down, and if you load the annotations the ensuing parcellations are mapped to an upside down surface appropriately, but the label reported in the 'Tksurfer Tools' window appears to be based on a right-side-up brain. For example, if I position the cursor over the

If there is no interaction, then either DODS or DOSS is appropriate. DOSS will be more powerful and a little more interpretable. If there is an interaction then DODS must be used, and the interpretation of the difference between groups becomes more problematic. Eg, if age is the covariate, and
