Thank you so much for the prompt
response Alfonso! Yes it works now!

Hi
Olaia,
You cannot explicitly define "condition-specific" second-level covariates in CONN. That said, for most analysis designs you should be able to simply enter all desired covariates in CONN (e.g. MedicationPre, MedicationPost, MedicationDiff, etc., each as a different covariate) and then in your second-level analysis select the appropriate combination of covariates for your planned analysis. For example, if you are interested in a paired t-test looking at post vs. pre differences in connectivity correcting for potential differences in medication between the pre- and post- conditions, in the Second-level analysis tab you would select the 'ExperimentalGroup' and 'MedicationDiff' between-subject effects (with a between-subjects contrast [0 1]) and the 'Pre' and 'Post' conditions (with a between-conditions contrast [-1 1]). This will compute the association between connectivity differences and medication differences between conditions and return the average post-pre connectivity differences after discounting the observed medication effects. Let me know if this clarifies
Hope this helps

Hi Alfonso,
I am trying to analyse a simple paired t-test.
I have 31 subjects (experimentals and controls), with 2 sessions (pre and post). In the condition setup, I have associated each session with 1 condition, and in the covariates setup I have introduce one covariate for experimental group and another for controls. But my question is, how could I add a covariate of medication (different values in each session) for analysis in the second-level results?
It would be possible to do only one covariate or one per condition?
Thank you in advance,
Bests,
Olaia
