what is your mri_segstats command? If you want area in mm2, you'll need to pass an area file to mri_segstats as input (--i) and use --accumulate. If this is on fsaverage, you can use $SUBJECTS_DIR/fsaverage/surf/lh.white.avg.area.mgh

External Email - Use CautionDoug,
We are still seeing differences, but I notice that the results from segstats are all whole integers, while the results from surfcluster (Max cluster size) is not. I assume this is because surfcluster is using partial volume. How do we implement this in segstats?
Thanks,

When you run mri_surfcluster, save an output cluster number (--ocn) output, then feed that into mri_segstats.

External Email - Use CautionHi. I have a question about cluster size determination within Freesurfer.
We are running linear mixed model on our Freesurfer generated volume data over the left and right cortex parcellations, and would like to look at cluster size at the p < 0.01 cluster-forming threshold level.
1)After running the models, we have created a .mgh image of the F-stats results, separately for the negative and positive results, saving them with fs_write_Y.
2)We then run these data through mri_surfcluster, which reports the maximum cluster size of 216 voxels. This was run with the command:
a.mri_surfcluster --hemi lh --in F_lhstats.mgh --o F_lhstats _negCluster.mgh --subject fsaverage --thmin 6.8 --sign pos
b.The “sign” is set to positive because this is running on F-numbers.
3)Next, we run mri_segstats on the output of the last command to get the location and sizes of the individual clusters, as follows:
a.mri_segstats --seg F_lhstats _negCluster.mgh --annot lh.aparc.annot lh parc --slabel fsaverage lh --seg --sum F_lhstats_negCluster.txt
The problem is that this is the output of that file (F_lhstats_negCluster.txt):

This clearly is reporting clusters larger than the 216 voxels reported by mri_surfcluster. Hope someone can help us figure out the discrepancy here, thanks!
(As an aside, what are we doing wrong with the mri_segstats command which is not printing out the actual anatomical locations for each cluster?).
