Dear all,

I have the following problem of understanding:

Lets say i have two groups. Group 1 = impulsive; Group 2 = Non
impulsive. Now i contrast 1 -1 to see activity changes for group 1
versus group 2. Lets say we see now significant activity changes in the
caudate body.

My question is now: how can i correlate/linear regress the activity in
the caudate body with an extern scale of impulsivity (lets assume
activity increase with an increase on the impulisivty scale)?  If i
implement this as a covariate isnt this defined as effect of no interest
and i destroy my results of "interest". Or how works the definition of
an "user specific" ordinate within the option fitted response? 

Again, thank you very much for your help!


Best

Marco
