Hello all,

As the subject line implies, I am new to CONN (and neuroimaging in general). That being said, I was given access to some resting-state fMRI data and behavioral data to go along with it. I have used batch script to do everything up until the second level analysis, and I am now stuck.

I would like to run a regression model using participants' behavioral data (survey scores) and the associated resting-state functional connectivity between 2 different areas of the brain. I have completed all the necessary steps up to the secondary-analysis. My question now is the following:

1) Given that I have already used CONN to run a first-level analysis, what variables (e.g. batch.setup..., etc.) need to be specified in order to run a second-level analysis that uses regression across all subjects?
2) How do I use batch script to load my current data into the environment to be used for second-level analysis?

I have read through the manual many times to no avail, and after reading through multiple postings on here, I figured I would make a new post. I think I am having trouble because up until this point, I have been using a function that loops over and specifies the conn_batch variables for each subject separately (done for parallel computing purposes), but for second-level results I need to look at all participants in tandem.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated!
