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!

Hi Yacila,

There are two ways to run, and both give the same results:

1) For each subject, subtract timepoint 1 from timepoint 2 (that is, t2-t1), producing 1 volume per subject. 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).

All the best,

Anderson

Betreff: [FSL] Randomise using GLM

Dear FSL experts,

I am trying to run dual regression as the last step of my resting state analysis in a sample of 20 subjects with two sessions each one (drug and placebo). 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!
