HI Jiansong,
This is right to me. In this model you can test the difference between the
activations of control and patients, and also assess the difference between the
RT correlations with the activations between control and patients. Regarding to
your first email, there is no difference between centered RT and original RT for
checking the correlation. But for multiple covariates, it will be different for
w or w/o orthogonization. You can refer to the newest SPM book (Friston et al
06) for a detailed description.
