Subject: Overall maxima is high and still no significant cluster
To: Freesurfer support list <freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu>


Hi FS experts,

I am estimating the group-behavioral thickness interaction using contrast 2 FSGD file: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Fsgdf2G2V at CFT < 0.01 and CWT < 0.05 at FWHM of 12 mm.

I do not find any significant clusters and my output summary text file looks like the following. This file shows that overall maxima is 4.58212 (which corresponds to p < 0.0001 because -log (0.0001) = 4, so I am just wondering despite the fact that maxima is > 4, why I do not see this cluster in the summary/output *.mgh file?

I would really appreciate any clarification and tips to modify my input thresholds so that I do not miss any significant findings here.

Thanks.
