Hi Heidi, how exactly do you want to draw a conclusion? The slopes for the different variables may be very different because the variables have a different scale. tksurfer scatter plot is made to look at a cortical variable vs a continuous variable. If you want to look at a scatter plot of your continuous variables, why not just do it in matlab or excel? doug

Dear FreeSurfers,
I hope you can help me out with a problem in coding my fsgd file. I want to examine the spatial difference between two cognitive measures on cortical thickness in one group. Furthermore, I will correct for age (centered covariate). So, I have 4 variables: group (class), 2 cognitive scores (continuous) and age (continuous). How can I compare two continuous variables? I have tried to list them as two variables in the fsgd (so not class): e.g: Input101 group 2.3 1.9 -0.5 (number of subject / group / score 1/ score 2/ age) Then I ran the dods model with the contrast 0 -1 1 0, which ended up with a surface sig file. However, when I look at the scatterplot in tksurfer, I cannot see the two cognitive variables at the same time. Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks a zillion times :)
Best wishes
Heidi
