Dear all Rik remember correctly, I have been writing about effects of interest a few times. I think one of the better ones was: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind05&L=SPM&P=R101943&m=19070 but also have a look at: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind05&L=SPM&P=R104595&m=19070 The relevant place in spm_spm is around line 466:: %-If xVi.V is not defined compute Hsqr and F-threshold under i.i.d. %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- if ~isfield(xVi,'V') Fcname = 'effects of interest'; iX0 = [SPM.xX.iB SPM.xX.iG]; xCon = spm_FcUtil('Set',Fcname,'F','iX0',iX0,xX.xKXs); X1o = spm_FcUtil('X1o', xCon(1),xX.xKXs); Hsqr = spm_FcUtil('Hsqr',xCon(1),xX.xKXs); trRV = spm_SpUtil('trRV',xX.xKXs); trMV = spm_SpUtil('trMV',X1o); % Threshold for voxels entering non-sphericity esimtates %---------------------------------------------------------------------- try UFp = eval(['defaults.stats.' lower(defaults.modality) '.ufp']); catch UFp = 0.001; end UF = spm_invFcdf(1 - UFp,[trMV,trRV]); end Hope this helps Torben Torben Ellegaard Lund Assistant Professor, PhD The Danish National Research Foundation's Center of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience (CFIN) Aarhus University Aarhus University Hospital Building 30 Noerrebrogade 8000 Aarhus C Denmark Phone: +4589494380 Fax: +4589494400 http://www.cfin.au.dk [log in to unmask] Den 02/10/2008 kl. 13.21 skrev Rik Henson: > It removes the user-specified "nuisance" regressors (eg movement > parameters) from estimation of the temporal autocorrelation > (nonsphericity).
