For the cfg.design matrix we just used the list of the subjects' values on the covariate. The results we got seemed to make sense (i.e., they were consistent with what had been observed in the same dataset with a time-window analysis before this), but of course if we've done anything wrong or if anyone has suggestions for a better way to do this then we'd be happy to hear.<br><br></div>Best,<br></div>Steve<br><div><div><div><div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span><div><br><br>---<br></div>Stephen Politzer-Ahles<br>University of Oxford<br>Language and Brain Lab<br>Faculty of Linguistics, Phonetics & Philology<br><a href="http://users.ox.ac.uk/~cpgl0080/" target="_blank">http://users.ox.ac.uk/~cpgl0080/</a></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

Dear List,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Apologies for the reposting...<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I am trying to perform a cluster-based permutation test. I have an experimental design with 2 within variables (2x2 design) and a covariate. I wonder how I can define the statistics in the script to include both the within-subject variables and the covariate. I am using the cfg.statistics = 'depsamplesFmultivariate' but I am unsure how to define the covariate in the model.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Any insight on this would be much appreciated.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>
<br>
<br>
