Hello! Thanks for the answer. I used the second option and ran 5000 permutations. It takes "its time"... I read that it's normal. Short final question: How many times is it running the permutations? I saw that it finished with the first one, gave the first results and started a second round. Is it normal? So far I haven't found any exact information about it in the previous questions from the mailing list. Thanks a lot again! Yacila On Oct 18, 2014 9:24 PM, "Anderson M.

Concatenate all in a 4D file, and use a 1-sample t-test in randomise (i.e., the design is a single column with ones, and the option -1 is used). or 2) Don't do the subtractions, making instead a paired t-test. It seems you could use the same design you have, but in randomise, use the option -e to specify a .grp file containing the exchangeability blocks, that here means one block per subject (so, 20 blocks).

I considered a paired T test (same group) and followed the instructions of the GLM for such test. The question is: Should I run the dual regression with my GLM.mat GLM.con or just -1 instead? I tried to use my design so far and I got the error “number of rows in design matrix doesn´t match number of time points”. I have 40 rows (one for each subject condition) and 21 rows (one for modeling the possible group interaction and the rest for every subject). What is the correct design that I should use with my sample then? Many thanks for your help! -- Yacila Deza Araujo, M.Sc. Neuropsych.
