Dear all,

I've a question regarding computing correlations with cortical thicknesses on the surface; Suppose I have two variables for each subject: (age and weight) and I want to compute the correlation between cortical thickness and weight, corrected for age.

Option 1: 
Fsgd contains: Variables weight
Contrast file contains: 0 1

Option 2:
Fsgd contains: Variables age weight
Contrast file contains: 0 0 1

Is it true that the effect of age is regressed out in the second option; and it computes the correlation between CT and weight after correcting for age?

Best,
Martijn
