Your contrast looks wrong - seems like you are comparing the constant (+1, last column) against the 3rd column (-1) You probably should use something like a [1 0 0 0] to assess the PPI Hth C ************ Dr. Claus Lamm Research Associate Social Cognitive Neuroscience Department of Psychology The University of Chicago 5848 S.

What are we doing wrong? Dear SPMers, We have been playing around with the sample SPM data set available here (attention to visual motion): http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/~wpenny/datasets/attention.html We have analyzed the results using the directions listed in the "README_GLM_PPI.txt" data set (using the updated SPM5), but as you can see by the screen shot, we are obviously getting results that do not make sense (i.e. t values in the hundreds). We are probably doing some thing simple wrong, but it is not obvious to us yet what that is. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Sincerely, Shaqunada Nonsensical results from sample SPM5 data set.
