hi,
i am having a strange problem with mri_surfcluster.
i give it the following command line: mri_surfcluster --in /disks/gpfs/fmri/emily.permutations/correlation.permutations/perm.mghs/2.lh.ccf.perm.smooth6.mgh --subject fsaverage --hemi lh --thmin 0.5 --thmax 1.0 --sign pos --minarea 6 --sum /disks/gpfs/fmri/emily.permutations/correlation.permutations/perm.clusters/2.ccf.pos.output.sum.txt
and i get this result in the summary: # Cluster Growing Summary (mri_surfcluster) # $Id: mri_surfcluster.c,v 1.26.2.4 2006/07/13 17:50:28 greve Exp $ # $Id: mrisurf.c,v 1.441.2.5 2006/11/29 20:28:16 nicks Exp $ # CreationTime 2007/06/01-19:04:15-GMT # cmdline mri_surfcluster --in /disks/gpfs/fmri/emily.permutations/correlation.permutations/perm.mghs/2.lh.ccf.perm.smooth6.mgh --subject fsaverage --hemi lh --thmin 0.5 --thmax 1.0 --sign pos --minarea 6 --sum /disks/gpfs/fmri/emily.permutations/correlation.permutations/perm.clusters/2.ccf.pos.output.sum.txt # cwd /disks/gpfs/fmri/emily.permutations/correlation.permutations # sysname Linux # hostname andrew.bsd.uchicago.edu # machine i686 # FixVertexAreaFlag = 1 # # Input /disks/gpfs/fmri/emily.permutations/correlation.permutations/perm.mghs/2.lh.ccf.perm.smooth6.mgh

the problem is that this is just entirely incorrect. when i view the input dataset in tksurfer, it's clear just from scanning over the vertices that 161181 out of 163842 total of them do not have intensity values between .5 and 1 (thmin and thmx), let alone in a giant cluster together. furthermore, when i make a historgram of a text file containing these intensity values, it shows that the majority of them are less than .5, and thus shouldn't be recognized as part of a cluster based on my specifications in the mri_surfcluster command:
