Re: [Freesurfer] question about glm setup
Hello Dr. Greve, Thank you for your reply. I have set up the qdec. I have gender as the discrete factor and age and clinical score as continuous factors. In order to look at the relationship between clinical score and whole brain cortical thickness while accounting for age and gender effects, do I select score as the continuous factor and age as the nuisance factor or should it be the other way round ?

You will need to create a table in the format with QDEC expects.
