Hi,

I would like to do a Group Analysis for my FA data.

For all my subjects (controls + patients) I have all the 
fa-masked.ANAT+CVS-to-avg35.mgz (the resampled registered image to CVS space).

I am not sure if my steps for the Group Analysis are the right one:

1) Concatenate FA from individuals into one file

 mri_concat */fa-masked.ANAT+CVS-to-avg35.mgz --o 
GroupAnalysis-fa-masked.ANAT+CVS-to-avg35.mgz

2) Make sure the order agrees with the fsgd:

 ls -l */fa-masked.ANAT+CVS-to-avg35.mgz

3) Create average of the input images for visualization:
    mri_average */fa-masked.ANAT+CVS-to-avg35.mgz 
GroupAnalysis.Average-fa-masked.ANAT+CVS-to-avg35.mgz

4) mri_glmfit --y GroupAnalysis-fa-masked.ANAT+CVS-to-avg35.mgz \
      --fsgd Group_Analysis.fsgd dods --C contrast.mtx --glmdir 
Group_Analysis.glmdir

To view uncorrected results:

tkmedit fsaverage orig.mgz
-aparc+aseg -overlay
/media/1Tra/Antonella_2011/DTI_FS/dtrecon/Group_Analysis.glmdir/contrast/sig.mgh
-fminmax 2 3 


where -fminmax 2 3 : Voxel-wise threshold of 2 (p<.01), color saturation at 3 
(p<.001)


To correct for multiple comparisons run: 


5) mri_glmfit-sim \
  --glmdir Group_Analysis.glmdir \
  --grf 3 neg \
  --cwpvalthresh .0166 \
  --overwrite


Is 3 (p<.001) neg as well as .0166 (.05/3) the best voxel-wise as well as 
cluster wise values to be tried?

To view corrected results:
tkmedit fsaverage orig.mgz \
  -ov 
/media/1Tra/Antonella_2011/DTI_FS/dtrecon/group_analysis.glmdir/contrast/grf.th3.pos.sig.cluster.mgh
 \
  -seg 
/media/1Tra/Antonella_2011/DTI_FS/dtrecon/group_analysis.glmdir/contrast/grf.th3.pos.sig.ocn.anat.mgh 
 \
       
/media/1Tra/Antonella_2011/DTI_FS/dtrecon/group_analysis.glmdir/contrast/grf.th3.pos.sig.ocn.lut
 \
  -fminmax 1.3 5

with only positive values

        * p-values are p-values for cluster 
        * Set threshold to 1.3 (p<.05) 

Are this steps right?

When I run the registration over the cvs space which file is the equivalent 
file of the fa-tal.nii.reg from the TAL space?


MANY THANKS!

Antonella
