RE: REX Results GUI: Meaning of Effect Sizes
Dear Julian,
Generally effect sizes in REX displays correspond to contrast values, or linear combinations of regressor coefficients, from your secod-level general linear model. For your analyses, looking at patient-control differences in connectivity, those effect sizes (approximately 0.05 in your results) will be interpretable as average differences in Fisher-transformed correlation values between the patients and control groups. If you prefer to report Cohen's d, in your case that can be easily computed from your analysis T-stats and dofs as d = T / sqrt(dof) (e.g. T=4.11 and dof probably 54 or 52, not totally sure, so Cohen's d in this case is going to be around 0.5 or a "medium-size" effect)
Hope this helps
Alfonso

I have a question about the meaning of the effect size (the y-axis in the REX Results GUI). Is this effect size in the sense of cohen's d? Or how should the effect size value be interpreted? Because we get nice significant results, but with a very small effect size - as you can see on the picture I added below.
The analysis we did, was thanks to your help and is described here in detail: https://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?th...
Kind regards
