Dear doug:
Thank you for your reply ,and it looks good now.But I meet a question when I am ready to write in my paper,that is how to decribe the annotation of my effect size maps ,I found two papers that were described as follows:
1¡¢Cohen¡®s d for the difference between two means was based on sex and age corrected means from a general linear model fitted at each vertex across the cortical surface.
2¡¢The figures present cortical maps of effect sizes (Cohen¡¯s d) based on age-adjusted means from general linear model analyses.
Is this right? and which one is better?and is there any cite for it ?and how to describe the pooled standard deviation in the Cohen'd equation,should I write and the pooled standard deviation was based on the residual error standard deviation from the general linear model analyses follow the above two description?
Look forward for your answer and thanks a lot!
