Hi Bruce,
Will do. Thanks again.

Hi Clark
sorry, the end of the summer has been a period when things slip through the cracks. I think what you want is possible without a talairach or aseg, but it will need to wait for Doug to get back. Can you repost at the end of next week? Bruce

Thanks Michael, I'll look into Nipy's FDR tools. I actually started this thread asking for help getting mri_surfcluster running for my situation (I have no talraich .xfm and no segmentation for my monkeys). The silence on that topic suggest that it might not be possible, or it's at least not known to possible. Thanks again everyone. -Clark On Aug 29, 2012, at 6:55 PM, Michael Waskom wrote:
Hi Clark,If you're loading the data into Python anyway to use with PySurfer, Nipy seems to have some utilities to do an FDR correction (docs/source). I've never used these, but they look pretty straightforward. Also it looks like FDR is built into mri_surfcluster.

I think you are right, both about tksurfer thresholding and the correct interpretation of FDR. As you point out though, there is some value in having maps that show how relatively well different points on the surface fit your model. At the very least, is there any way to automate the retrieving of the threshold that tksurfer provides? I'd still also be interested in some adjustment to the whole map, if there's a way to do that as well. I could probably find a way to do this in Matlab, but I trust the bug-squishing abilities of the freesurfer community more than I trust my own. -Clark On Aug 28, 2012, at 2:34 PM, Sebastian Moeller wrote: > Hi Clark, > > > On Aug 28, 2012, at 11:15 AM, Clark Fisher wrote: > >> Hi Bruce, >> >> Thanks.

I thought all it does is figure out the corrected threshold. By the way, if I understand correctly, FDR maps should be considered to be binary, that is you really do not know which voxels might be false positives, so you should not interpret all voxels to be equally significant. Having said that, almost everybody I know still looks at the p-value spatial distribution when looking at those FDR thresholded maps?

I'd like to output FDR-corrected signficance surface maps for my monkey data, or at least FDR-threshold the maps.

If so, how should I make an identity .xfm file?
