Hi Louis, Thanks for sending. Using this design, for the group comparisons the contrasts should be: *1 -1 0* *1 0 -1* *0 1 -1* *-1 1 0* *-1 0 1**0 -1 1* These are all 6 possible differences (in both directions. The F-test would use any two of these, provided that all 3 groups are represented. It could be the first and the second, for example. The design.fts would then be: */NumWaves 6/NumContrasts 1/Matrix1 1 0 0 0 0* Regarding the extraction of FA for some ROIs, see the commands fslstats and fslmeants. All the best, Anderson On 22 November 2017 at 22:27, S.J.
