Hi there,

I wonder if the fsgd file and the command lines listed below are corrected.


My sample included 4 groups with different diagnosis (g1, g2, g3, g4).

I'm interested to map the vertices that show a relationship between the FC (obtained by FS-FAST) and cortical thickeness, regressing out the diagnosis.


To this aim I used the --pvr option:


mri_glmfit --y ces.nii.gz --wls cesvar.nii.gz --surface fsaverage rh --glmdir

Thickness.wls --nii.gz --fsgd g4v1_thickness.fsgd --C intercept.mtx --C

slope.mtx --pvr $SUBJECTS_DIR/rh.thickness.10B.mgh


The fsgd file lists:
