yes, it's a somewhat different and more conservative test. I guess you could check the talairach transforms of some of your subjects with eTIVs that don't make sense (or change the most over time) to try to see why this is happening. Or take Mike's suggestion and test a different (but probably

Hi, thank you I think this would test something different: 'how much a brain area is atrophic controlling for the average brain atrophy' and not 'how much a brain area is atrophic controlling for the individual differences in head size'. Doesn't it? Angela "Harms, Michael" ha

2016-02-14 Thread angela . favaro
Dear Freesurfer experts, I have a question about eTIV (FS 5.3) which I use as a covariate where appropriate. Is it in some way influenced by the presence of brain atrophy? I have a new sample of subjects in a longitudinal study: at time 1 they have some atrophy (due to low body weight) that
