Dear FSL experts,
I have run both ICA and ALFF analyses on the same datasets (patients and controls matched for both age and gender). Then I have used Randomise to to estimate between-group differences (ICs and ALFF map).
Now, I would like to test whether the detected between-group ALFF differnences have influenced ICA results. Could I test that by including ALFF individual maps as a voxelwise covariants in the permutation test (Randomise). For instance, using the following command line:
randomise -i ICs (outputs from melodic+dual-regression) -o output -d design.mat (including a 3rd column with zeros) -t design.con (including a 3rd column with zeros) --vxl=3 --vxf=ALFF maps (arranged in a correponding order to melodic ICs) -n 500 -T -V
Do you think it is doable this way? If not, do you have any suggestions?
Regards,
Ahmed
