Hi all!

I ran a seed PLS to idenitfy structural covariance within the DMN.  Following Spreng and Turner (2013), I created my datamat, ran Mean-Centered PLS, extracted my seed voxels using the MVE feature, then used the output for that to run Regular Behav PLS.  Upon examning my results, first I looked at the Brain LV and Bootstrap Ratio plots, then I opened the Brain Scores vs Behavior Data Plot, which showed (LV #1) my gray matter condition on the y and my behavior (seed) on the x, with a data point for all of my subjects.  When I went to extract my brainscores in the MATLAB command window, I loaded my *results.mat, then typed "whos" to view my variables.  brainscore wasn't listed as a variable, along with some others I would expect.  I can't figure out why the information listed below would seem so empty... I have 87 subjs, the seed txt file has all 87 lines (1 column), and I can see the figures when I load the plot.

Couple more details: I'm using the PCC as my seed (neighborhood of 3 voxels) and did not delineate by group (meaning I just put all subjects in the same group/condition and ran Mean-Centered PLS option 1, then was going to separate out their brain scores for my higher level analyses).

This is my first time using this software so I really appreciate any and all help!  Thanks so much!!

hi Aggie - the scores will be in the result structure array

 

hope the results are looking good!

 

cheers

Hi Randy!

Well that makes perfect sense, thank you!  Once I clicked through the workspace in MATLAB I was able to access my result incredibly easily.

Thanks for your speedly response.
