As far as I can tell they look right to me. Good job!

Dear Freesurfer Mailing List,
I wish to run a GLM in freesurfer with 3 categorical variables (haplotype-2levels, gender-2levels, group-2levels), and 1 continuous variables (age). Unfortunately, the MRI images I am using come from five different testing sites, so I also need to account for the potentially confounding effects of using different scanners. So my fsgd file like this:

As the number of categorical variables really complicates the specification of contrast vectors, I was wondering if you could confirm whether these vectors are correct:
Main effect for haplotype (Risk vs No Risk): 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
