Just adding in (same lab)
In a "normal" 3dttest++ scenario we e.g. test if two groups differ (in beta values) and we get a significant cluster. From this cluster we extract the betas (the same betas the 3dttest used to get a significant cluster) so that we can make nice plots (and if it's an ANOVA we can do post-hoc). These betas should, of course, also produce a significant difference if we compare them e.g. Excel as well.
But when we run a 3dttest++ with covariates and the covariates are responsible for getting the significant cluster it's not enough to just extract the betas, we also need to incorporate the covariates in some way. I think it is here that we don't quite know what to do to be able to "alter" the betas with the covariates to that the significance show up in Excel as well.
At least that is my problem. :)
Thanks!
