HI - it is correct that the "temporal" degrees of freedom is reduced by applying fsl_regfilt - however whether you need to correct for that later depends on what you are later doing. If you are running first-level FEAT then yes in theory you should correct, but if you are then going on to run higher-level FEAT it's not really necessary wrt the higher-level stats. Cheers.

After we denoise the data with fsl_regfilt, do we need to adjust the degrees of freedom in the group analysis, and what's the proper way to do it? > > Your help is greatly appreciated! > -Marina > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen M.
