Dear Experts,
I am trying to run F contrast in flexible factorial design (SPM5) for my fMRI data with a task.
I have 3 factors: subject (n=103), group (5 groups), condition (7 conditions).
Thus, 3 main effects: group, condition, subject, plus group x condition interaction (appearing in this order in the design matrix).
To define main effect of group (F contrast) I tried:
1 0 0 0 -1 zero(1,7) zero(1,103) zero(1,35); 0 1 0 0 -1 zero(1,7) zero(1,103) zero(1,35); 0 0 1 0 -1 zero(1,7) zero(1,103) zero(1,35); 0 0 0 1 -1 zero(1,7) zero(1,103) zero(1,35)
It does not run (when I click ‘Submit’, the contrast does not go through).
I would very much appreciate any suggestions. Much thanks in advance,
Elena

Subject: Re: [SPM] coregistration
The initial joint intensity histogram in the pdf file seems to be empty, which would suggest that the images did not overlap at all before attempting to run the coregistration. Prior to running it, I'd suggest using Checkreg to ensure that the images are reasonably well aligned beforehand (within about 3 cm and 15 degrees of each other). Coregistration in SPM is a local optimisation procedure, which requires starting estimates that are not too far from the solution.
Best regards,

Dear SPM Users,
I have ten subjects. I have done reorientation before doing any pre-processing steps. I chose the origin of structural image as AC and reoriented with itself and functional images. I got every steps properly for 7 subjects.However I got a problem for 3 subjects
in coregistration step.I attached the coregistration figure which I got.I did these steps many times carefully, but I got the same result.
Is anyone could help me? What's wrong with that? Any help will be much more appreciated.
Thanks,
Elveda
