Hello Experts,
I am running a paired t-test cortical thickness analysis based on the instruction on the wiki page ( https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/PairedAnalysis). However, the monte carlo files weren't not created when i corrected for multiple comparisons. Below are my script, fsgd files, mc-z log file, and a screenshot of contrast folder missing mc.z maps. Please can you help me figure out why the error is happening. Thank you.
Best, Paul
