~+'''Two Groups (One Factor/Two Levels), One Covariate'''+~

This models the input as two separate lines (DODS), one for each
group. The two groups can be thought of as two levels of a single
discrete factor. The covariate can be thought of as a continuous
factor (eg, Age).

= Contrasts =

The number of columns in each contrast matrix must be the same as the
number of regressors (Nregressors). If there is only one row in the
contrast matrix, then the result will be a t-test and will have a
sign. Reversing the signs in the contrast matrix will only change the
sign of the output, not its magnitude. If there is more than one row,
the result will be an F-test and will be unsigned.

== Contrast 1 (g1-g2.intercept.mtx) ==
Null Hypothesis: is there a difference between the group intercepts?

{{{
1 -1 0 0
}}}

This is a t-test with Group1>Group2 being positive (red/yellow).

== Contrast 2 (g1-g2.slope.mtx) ==

Null Hypothesis: is there a difference between the group slopes? Note:
this is an interaction between group and age. Note: not possible to
test with DOSS

{{{
0 0 1 -1
}}}

This is a t-test with Group1>Group2 being positive (red/yellow).

== Contrast 3 (g1-vs-g2.mtx) ==
Null Hypothesis: does Group1 differ from Group2 in intercept or slope?

{{{
1 -1 0 0
0 0 1 -1
}}}
Note: this is an F-test (and hence unsigned). Reversing the signs will
have no effect.

== Contrast 4 (g1g2.intercept.mtx) ==
Null Hypothesis: does mean of group intercepts differ from 0?

{{{
0.5 0.5 0 0
}}}

This is a t-test with (Group1+Group2)/2 > 0 being positive
(red/yellow). If the mean is < 0, then it will be displayed in
blue/cyan.

== Contrast 5 (g1g2.slope.mtx) ==
Null Hypothesis: does mean of group slopes differ from 0?

{{{
0 0 0.5 0.5
}}}

This is a t-test with (Group1+Group2)/2 > 0 being positive
(red/yellow). If the mean is < 0, then it will be displayed in
blue/cyan.

This is an example invocation of mri_glmfit. Depending upon your
application, you may have other options as well.
