How to add only ROI when I I finished the whole analysis?

Submitted by Ilona on

Dear Chao-Gan,

I use the spm8, MatlabR2014b and DPSRASF basic 2.3_130615.

My analysis lasts 10 h for 20 patients. I would like add only next ROI. My question is,  who I have to choose a folder ? And sekend: do I have of defining "time point" again? I have mistake and  dparsf not responding. I've tried different ways.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Ilona

error when performing mixed effect analysis

Submitted by gekehe on

Hi Yan,

An error occured when I am performing mixed effect analysis using DPABI.  There are 2 groups of subjects (19 control and 19 patient) in my data and each group underwent 2 fMRI scan in 2 different times.  I chose grey matter density as covariate images and FD as txt covariates. Should I perform ANCOVA (repeat) or mixed effect analysis to see the difference between the two groups and within two patient conditions? How do I perform post-hoc analysis after mixed effect analysis since there is no post hoc analysis to cho0se in mixed effect analysis? 

How to calculate the global correlation between two contrasts

Submitted by yaosir on

Dear Chao-Gan,

Recently I have done a study which includes two datasets (30 patients and 30 controls, and 20 patients and 21 controls, respectively), and the second is the subset of the first. The reviewer required me to report the globle correlation between these two contrasts. However, I have never done such analysis before. Can I use dpabi or any other software to achieve it?

Best,

Vincent 

Covariable file

Dear experts.

I am looking for csf and white matter signal covariates and find the attached file in ...globalCovs folder.

However, the file contained 30 columns and perhaps the last three columns would be meaningful to me.

Please let me know which comumn represents csf, white matter, and global signal.

Best regards,

tetsuya

 

Which mask to use for smoothness estimation (FWHMx,y,z)?

Submitted by Haobo on

Dear Chaogan,

My study is to use voxel-based rs-FC measure to perform statistical analysis. That rs-FC measure was generated within a GM mask, so that FC was calculated between any two voxels within the GM.

After statistical analysis,  however, I consider that the whole brain mask, instead of the GM mask, should be used for smoothness estimation (FWHMx,y,z) with 4D residuals.
