Hi, I have a question regarding designing matrices in fsl. I am trying to design a matrix for un-paired two groups comparison (patients vs. controls) with one nuisance factor (grey matter volume). I understand that I need two separate columns for patients and controls to enter the GMV values for each group in a separate column. Now, to demean the grey matter volumes do I have to use the grand mean (mean of both groups put together) or group specific means (demeaning patients value by patients' mean and controls by controls' mean)?
