Thank you very much Dough!

I need to check 4 contrasts. I made them based on the freesurfer page, but cant decide if i interpreted them right!
Are my contrasts Ok?

If classes are:
Patients, healthy control

and variables are:
Age, TIV,  father age, mother age.

Are these contrasts ok?

R# = 2* (4+1) = 10

contrast1: 0 0 0 0 0 0 -1 1 -1 1>> checking the differences between groups in terms of father and mother age regression out the effect of age and TIV

contrast2: 0 0 0 0 0 0 -1 1 0 0
                   0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 -1 >> checking the differences between groups in terms of father or mother age regression out the effect of age and TIV

contrast3: 0 0 0 0 0 0 -1 1 0 0 >> checking the differences between groups in terms of father age regression out the effect of age and TIV and  mother age

contrast4: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -1 1 >> checking the differences between groups in terms of mother age regression out the effect of age and TIV and  father age

Hello all,

I'm new to surface analysis.

I have 2 groups (patient and healthy control) that i want to check differences between.
I want to perform cortical thickness/ surface analysis.
My categories are
  Patients, healthy control, age, TIV,  father age, mother age.
Where age & TIV are covariates of no interest. and father and mother age are covariates of interest.

I have already preprocessed the data (recon-all), but how can i proceed?
Any online guide on steps for surface analysis? also making a design such as the above?

Yas
