If you run it with --help, you will see this. let me know if this is not clear.
6. Select the threshold sign (--sim-sign). This is the sign of the threshold used to create the clusters for cluster-wise correction of multiple comparisons. Options are abs (unsigned), pos (positive), and neg (negative). If you have an a priori hypothesis (eg, group1 > group2), then choose positive. If you don not know the sign, then use abs. Choosing a sign will yield stronger results (ie, smaller p-values), but you will lose the other sign.
The FWHM is obtained from the data (glmdir/fwhm.dat)

When correcting for multiple comparisons using: mri_glmfit-sim \ --glmdir lh.gender_age.glmdir \ --sim mc-z 5 4 mc-z.negative \ --sim-sign neg --cwpvalthresh 0.4\ --overwrite What does the sign mean (ie - the neg, pos, abs). Also for the mc-z simulation type do we no longer need to include the smoothness of our data (FWMH)?
