Hi Carolina, the FWHM is the full-width/half-maximum and indicates how much smoothing you have. This is surface-based smoothing, not volume based, and it can be difficult to compare to volume based smoothing as is done in fMRI. The surface-based smoothing can be larger because you don't have

Carolina, It means its smoothing on the surface with a kernel of 10mm full-width half-max. Smoothing on the surface can generally be larger than in a volume. See these slides for a description of the difference: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/docs/fs.surface-based-analysis.ppt you can

Yes, you just need to set up qdec with your two groups and one covariate. After you run the analysis, one of the statements should be something like Does the slope differ between groups XX and XY . doug On 7/4/12 10:24 AM, Emilia Lentini wrote: Hi. I would like to test the effect of a
