Dear all, I am trying to make group level analysis of functional data on the surface and add per-vertex regressors (PVR, here: cortical thickness) into the design. When I view the results I have the feeling that the PVR is not really included in the model:
I am using the command: mri_glmfit --glmdir lh_output --y cope1_lh_4D.mgh --fsgd Group1versusGroup2.fsgd --pvr lh.thickness.10.mgh --C Group1only_thickness.mat --C Group2only_thickness.mat --C Group1minusGroup2_thickness.mat --C Group2minusGroup1_thickness.mat --C Group1plusGroup2_thickness.mat
where cope1_lh_4D.mgh contains the concatenated sig.mgh images from the fixed level analysis (combining the runs) for each participant fsgd file contains: GroupDescriptorFile 1 Title Group1versusGroup2 Class Group1 Class Group2 Input 1109 Group1 Input 1110 Group1 Input 1111 Group1 Input 1112 Group1 ... Input 2280 Group2 Input 2282 Group2 Input 2283 Group2 Input 2284 Group2
The PVR is a file containing thickness maps for each participant, concatenated in the same order as for the functional data.
So there are 2 main regressors (1 factor, 2 levels), but the contrast files contain 3 regressors (the third one is the PVE), for instance: Group1minusGroup2_thickness.mat contains 1 -1 0.
Does it look correct? Should the pvr regressor be included in the fsdg file? How can I do it?
Thank you very much for your help, Cheers, Aga
Hi Aga, what you have done is correct, no need to include the pvr in the fsgd. doug
