You will have four regressors: M-offset F-offset M-age-slope F-age-slope so use contrast [0.5 0.5 0 0] This averages the M and F offsets. You could also do an F-test with contrast 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0

External Email - Use Caution
Hello,
I am currently attempting a paired t-test of subjects between two time points, regressing out the effects of age and gender. I am currently running the paired analysis tutorial, and have done the step of computing the differences between pairs using mris_preproc --paired-diff. However, I am having trouble with the FSGD and contrast files.
Currently, this is my FSGD file:
GroupDescriptorFile 1 Class M Class F Variables Age Input subject1pair M 80 Input subject2pair F 82 ...
I am not sure how to make the contrast file for this, I would like to answer the question of " does the mean paired difference differ from 0, regressing out the effect of age and gender?"
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. William
