Subject: sim-sign abs/ cluster summary results confirmation

Hello, 

I ran cortical thickness analyses using the following contrast and fsgd. After that, I corrected for multiple comparison using monte carlo 5000 with cluster forming threshold of 2 and unsigned/2-tailed t-test (abs). I wanted to confirm my interpretation of the results. 

1) Since my contrast is (-1 1 0 0 representing control>stroke), it should be red/yellow and if blue, it should be control<stroke. However, I see clusters with colors different from the aformentioned (see attached screenshot). How should I interpret them? 

2) I want to view the uncorrected p-values, which of the columns in the summary text file should I concentrate, and should the p < or > 0.05? 

3) Looking at the CWP column in the summary text file, can I conclude that the obtained regions/clusters are significant? This is because non of the cluster-wise p-values are below 0.05 (--cwp 0.05). 

4) Which of the columns represent the sign of my contrast i.e. where Control>Stroke and Control<Stroke because i used abs? Max? 

FSGD file 
GroupDescriptorFile 
Title StrokevsControl
Class1 Stroke
Class2 Control 
Variable bmi 
Input 6001 Stroke 20
Input 8001 Control 30 

Contrast: 
-1 1 0 0 (Control>Stroke removing the effects of bmi)

Thank you, 
Paul
