Hi Rick,

all_runs+orig is the big dataset, which is the concataneted scaled (in percentile signal change) datasets
hrf2_pre2.1D is the ideal waveform for finger2 for pre scan (i.e. prior to treatment)
pre3 is for finger 3 for pre scan
pre5 is for finger 5 for pre scan
post2 is for finger2 for post scan (i.e. after treatment)
dfile.all includes 6 registreration parameters (e.g. roll, pitch, etc.)
subj_func+orig'[1,4,7,10,13,16]' includes pre2#0_Coef, pre5#0_Coef, etc.
My question is:
After running 3dANOVA, difference maps for finger 2 (pre2 vs post2)demonstrated stastistically significant negative z statistics in some regions . I need to demonstrate fmri signal decrease in these regions as a result of treatment. A reviewer recommends me to show group maps of pre and post scans for finger 2 in SEPARATE figures and a table with % signal change. However, I could not figure out how I can make a group analysis and obtain a group map separetly for pre2 and post2. I am confused, because I am trying to obtain a group map for ONE condition (e.g. pre2) with no comparison between conditions (e.g pre2 vs post2). Should I run a test like independent-samples to t-test to examine whether signal changes for one condition (e.g. pre2) is different from 0 for obtaining such a figure ?
A similar figure that I am trying to obtain is the Figure 2 in Napadow et al. 2007, [
