Dear DCM experts,

I am posting one of my previous posts regarding Resting State DCM once
again. It would be great if you can guide me sort out this issue.

Currently, I am analyzing resting state fMRI data. I have done the
preprocessing using SPM8 and 1st level and 2nd level analysis using
functional connectivity toolbox (
http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=2295) to find the activations
and peak co-ordinates of four clusters.

I don't have SPM.mat file of each subject to use in DCM but what I have is
SPM.mat files of each of the regions, obtained from 2nd level analysis
(from functional conn toolbox).

So 1). How can I obtain SPM.mat file for each subject to define VOIs of
each subjects and define models further and
2). What contrast/condition & onset/duration should I use in SPM to obtain
SPM.mat files ? I have a rest period of 400s (200 scans).

I would greatly appreciate any kind of help. It would also be great if you
could please refer me to someone or some paper where DCM has been used for
resting state.

Thanks a lot !!
Regards,
Sahil
