There are not any restrictions, just do the same as you would for a non-paired analysis. In any event, you are creating a linear model y = a +b1*x1 + b2*x2 ... where y is the input (paired diff) and x1, x2, etc, are your factors. You are the one who knows your data and what models would be appropriate

My doubt is, if it is possible to use a FSGD file to add variables to a --paired-diff analysis. If it is, what would be the right way to format the FSGD file.
Thanks in advance.

A follow up question: How should I then specify the variable's values per hemisphere while making the FSGD file if I want to add covariates when running mri_glmfit? Thanks in advance.
