External Email - Use Caution
Dear all,
Using Freesurfer 5.3, I would like to limit my whole-brain analyses to a mask I already defined (ie, small volume correction-like analysis). To correct for multiple comparisons, I want to use the mri_glmfit-sim option. As I am looking within my own mask, I understand I need to run my own Monte-Carlo simulation. Would 10,000 permutations be sufficient? Also, I am a bit confused on what is best practice when setting the cluster forming threshold. Should I use the mc-z=3 (that is p=0.001) or mc-z=1.3 (that is p=0.05)? Here is an exemple of what I’m doing so far:
mri_glmfit-sim \ --glmdir $STATS_DIR/lh.my_analysis.glmdir \ --sim mc-z 10000 3 mc-z.abs.3 \ --sim-sign abs
Thanks for your time.
Yann
