Comparing MRI data to test scores; single group #24

Hi! Is there a way to perform a regression using patient MRIs and the test scores for each patient? I want to see which areas correlate more with these scores. How could I set this up? Thank you so much!

Hi @kylag53,

Yes, that's possible. A lot of processing is done to the images first, but eventually, once all brains have been scaled to be comparable, these can be fed into PALM using the option -i. The test scores would go in a matrix of regressors, supplied with the option -d.

See the FSL documentation on VBM for a start. PALM takes a role similar to that of randomise, except that it can do some additional things.

All the best,

Anderson
