RE: Movement
Hi Brad,

Yes, entering a .mat file with your empty matrix M is exactly the way to go for those subjects/sessions without any outliers. The gui in the denoising step is (misleadingly) showing you the effect explained by *all* counfounding effects when selecting this empty regressor. This will not affect your analyses, though, and this particular gui issue has already been fixed in more recent versions of CONN (it will now show you a more explicit 'no effects available' message when attempting to view the effects explained by an empty subject/session confounding effect in the preview-results denoising window).

Hope this helps
Alfonso

Hi Alfonso,

I am entering outlier .mat files as first level covariates in a CONN analyses that I set up via a batch script. How should I handle subjects who have 0 outlier scans? Setup doesn't seem to work leaving the outlier file empty. So for subjects with 0 outliers, I have been entering a .mat file with an empty matrix M with one row per scan and no columns (M = zeros(# scans, 0); dimensions = 180x0). But that regressor appears to explain everything (screen shot attached).

Best,
Brad
