Hi
In this case the ICA "time series" are the subject weights - so (e.g.) read melodic_mix into Matlab, identify the column number that matches the spatial map component number that you "like" - and then do a statistical test between different timepoints (subjects) in that column of weights.

Thank you for your quick response.  

So I have concatenated all my single subject images into a 4D NIFTI image and ran them through Melodic using single-session.  Now I have my components, but I am stuck on how to get my group  differences.  Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Crystal

Hi - yes this should be possible.  If you have "time series" data for each subject then you should use group-ICA and dual-regression; if you only have a single summary image per subject then you should concatenate all images into a 4D NIFTI image and run "single-session" (default) melodic.

Dear FSL,

I have a FDG PET study that contains 79 subjects that are either FH+ or FH-.  The data has already been preprocessed and registered into standard space.  I am now wanting to do an ICA analysis to get the components and then do group comparisons with these components.  Is this possible and if so, how do I go about setting this analysis up. 

Thank you,
Crystal
