Thank you, I have three follow up questions:

 

Threshold is –log10(p), why are negative values showing up on the display?  

 

I am using fsaverage to display my results, would it make any difference if I created my own average subject based on the analysis?

 

Is it possible to export the voxel-by-voxel intensities (or the brain surface data) used in Freesurfer’s analysis; and then re-import the some external analysis results back to Freesurfer format for display purposes?

 

 

Cole

The values are -log10(p), so p < .01 would require a threshold of 2, etc. I don't use  t, z, or F because I have not memorized the various tables that convert them to p:). The sig will map to any surface, including pial.

First, thanks to Doug for all his help up to this point.

 

Next, I have three questions.  In my analysis, I used the –paired-diff and –osgm options in mris_preproc and mri_glmfit, respectively.  I have successfully loaded sig.mgh onto the inflated surface.

Are the values from the color chart [-5,5] representative of a t-score or an F-score (t^2)?

 

I adjust the threshold by changing the ‘Min’ value in the ‘Configure Overlay Display’?

Ex. If Min ==3, then p < 0.001 ?

 

Is the sig.mgh created solely for the inflated surface, or is it able to be uploaded on others (pial, wm, etc.)?  

 

Thank you,

 

Cole
