Hi, FreeSurfer Users.
I am comparing cortical thickness of 2 groups controlled for certain variables of no interest.
My contrast matrix is 1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 to check for group 1 thickness > group 2 thickness
I get my sig.mgh and I want to run mri_surfcluster command to correct for FDR.
I am confused as to whether I should use -no-adjust in mri_surfcluster. According to the help mri_surfcluster (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mri_surfcluster) : I have to use -no-adjust if my sig.mgh is not a log(10) map and sig.mgh was created using a one-tailed test.
Since my contrast is group1>group2 ; I am thinking my sig.mgh is a log(10) but a one-tailed. Hence I have to use -no-adjust.
But then again, mri_glmfit (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mri_glmfit) says if #of rows in Contrast matrix is 1 (which is true in my case), then the F-test reduces to a two-tailed t-test which means I should not use -no-adjust.
I would appreciate any response regarding this.
Thanks
Regards
Virendra
