Hey Doug,

thanks again! That means, I would do something like:

1.) construct longitudinal qdec table
- only use fsid, fsid-base, and years/age columns
- substract the average age of the one-time point subjects from years/age value 
for every subject at every time point

2.) run long_mris_slopes
- use the --do-avg flag?

3.) concatenate the output files from 2) and the maps from the one-time point 
subjects with mris_preproc
- use --is flag to select maps by specifying full path

4.) run mri_glmfit
- use --osgm flag for one-sample group mean

5.) replace sig.mgz file with the one from LME analysis and run mri_glmfit-sim

Is that correct? (especially, is using --do-avg what you meant by taking the 
offset)

Thanks,

Janosch
