External Email - Use Caution        

Sorry, let me explain better! 

When mri_glmfit finishes it generates the sig.table.dat file which has the p values of the ROIs (first image below). 

Then, when mri_fdr finishes, that same sig.table.dat file no longer contains the p-values of the ROIs, but the FDR value (second image). In this way, the p-values of the ROIs are lost.
What I would like is to end mri_fdr with a file with the value of fdr + the original sig.table.dat file with the p values of the ROIs.

Is there a way to do this?

On this link you sent there is the following:

Was it supposed to be like this?

The command worked fine! But, in the end, the file that contains the thresholds for each of the ROI (first image below) ends up being replaced by the FDR value (second image below), which is not very good, because this information ends up getting lost.

I don't understand what you mean. The value in the file is the threshold that you would use to divide your ROIs into significant vs nonsig groups in a way that meets the FDR criteria; in your case, it looks all but subiculum will pass. Or are you looking for an FDR-corrected p-value for each ROI?

Is there any way to save the FDR value in another file and not in the same one where the p-values of the ROI are?

And is it possible to visualize the ROIs with the significance scale in freeview? 

I tried to overlay the sig.mgh file over the inflated surface and also the mri_fdr output.mgh file, but it didn't work.

That definitely will not work.

What should I do to make this work?

You have to convert the table into a map. You can get a tool to do this from here MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "secure-web.cisco.com" claiming to be https://gate.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/safelinks/greve/table2map

I'm not totally sure it will work as a stand-alone. You might have to download the development version of FS to get it. Specify the subfields segmenation as the --seg option.

Thank you so much again,

that looks right; I don't think you need a 2nd --thfile (but does not hurt it).

Dear Douglas,

Once again, thanks so much for the reply!

About the mask, I just don't put anything or put "nomask"?

With your suggestions, the command looks like this:

mri_fdr --fdr .05 --pos --thfile $SUBJECTS_DIR/hipposubfields.lh.T1.v21.CU_CI.glmdir/sig.table.dat --i $SUBJECTS_DIR/hipposubfields.lh.T1.v21.CU_CI.glmdir/group.diff.CU_CI/sig.mgh nomask hipposubfields.lh.T1.v21.CU_CI.mgh

                                        --thfile $SUBJECTS_DIR/hipposubfields.rh.T1.v21.CU_CI.glmdir/sig.table.dat --i $SUBJECTS_DIR/hipposubfields.rh.T1.v21.CU_CI.glmdir/group.diff.CU_CI/sig.mgh nomask hipposubfields.rh.T1.v21.CU_CI.mgh

Do you think this is correct?

As it was before (without the input to --thfile) it was giving the following error:

I believe that with these fixes it should work fine, right?

Thank you so much again!
